Thank you. This looks very usefull. On another note, when using the Cobbler Gui, its not always clear whats being asked for. I will input kernel location, etc and then get an error, but it gives no indication whats wrong. And the other thing I wonder about, does Cobbler just set up part of the kickstart environment? I don't see anywhere to set up exports. Thanks.

I use gPXE, which you can find at http://etherboot.org/wiki/index.php and after the initial boot, it does a fully automated install quite wonderfully. I just upgraded her machine via a re-install from FC9 to FC12 with less than a dozen keystrokes. :) - Doug Quoting brown wrap ([email protected]): > I am browsing the docs on Cobbler and everything seems to refer to > kickstating a machine using pxe boot.
