Hi Christian, So i need to enforce blank --profiles? I'll try your sed trick regarding menu selection. Do you think this could be hacked into cobbler? I am little bit into python and would like to see this implemented. Regarding the old laptop issue: Is it possible to let the images/install.img load from local (like the full install media does) and do only the installpart over network? Thanks! _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
