Unfortunately we can't have have binaries available as "content" for the arches they don't represent -- I would love it if elilo, yaboot, and syslinux were available on all arches. What we've done for the next Cobler (likely to be 2.0) is to not require /any/ bootloaders, but provide a mechanism for folks to download them using "cobbler get-loaders" ... which lamely pulls them from my people page, for now, but easily allows you to run cobbler from ppc, ia64, whatever you like, with service to all arches. If you just copy the file to where cobbler is looking for it on ppc, anyway, things should be happy. --Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
