As an alternate solution, a simple way to view the active entries in the menu could be implemented. I did a crude one-line script as a start: grep "MENU LABEL" /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default | sed 's/ MENU LABEL//' Related to this, I've learned more about PXE boot menus. An option for each menu entry, at least with menu.c32, within a LABEL section, is to have a MENU HIDE setting. For my purposes, it would be better to have $enable_menu put in or take away the MENU HIDE line. That way, little-used profiles are not cluttering up the menu, yet are still present so can be selected by typing in their name. Perhaps this won't work for others - if so, maybe a separate $hide_menu could be added. _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
