I sent in some patches a while ago, and those went to the devel branch afaik. It fixed imports and PXE boots using the alternate media up till at least Ubuntu 8.10. Virtual deployments didn't work yet there. Corey, what version did you try? At that time, I wrote this page: https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/Ubuntu. To my knowledge this is still up-to-date. -Jasper _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
