Cool :) I'll be more than happy to help out with people that have questions about which files to look at, and how the code generally works (for most parts of it... I haven't dug through all of it). I'm in #cobbler-devel during the evenings (US Central time), so if you have a question find me there. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
