So, the next step in clonezilla integration is getting "cobbler sync" not to blow away the update. I can move things around so that I'm not dropping files in the cobbler directory, but how can I add something to /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default and have it stick? Is there a template or some other way to manually add grub/pxe options? -Jared
