Seeing the network snippets are complex (understatement!) I think that (if it's something folks are interested in), might be a nice parameter to have, that way folks would not have to modify their own Snippets. (Asking users to understand how to tweak the network snippet is a bit much, I think, and it's better that we do things in ways that save everyone work). Would someone want to add this? Adding that parameter on a per-interface basis, defaulting to "", does not seem to be a bad idea to me. (We'd want this done on the "master" development branch of course, rather than applied to 1.6, since it is a new feature) --Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
