Anaconda is not hard coded. I suspect you'd have to specify more repo directives with "file:///" that reference the extra CD content. Really the standalone stuff should probably be documented that it only handles base packages. If this is in a office environment, though, there's really no reason to not use "cobbler buildiso" in normal network install mode. > Thus far I have had trouble setting IP addresses and having the installs > work, because the machine are to be set up in other offices using different > network schemes. > This is definitely not a Cobbler problem; you'll probably want different kickstarts. > Thanks for your help.
