I found an example of the use of --standalone
http://sugizo.wordpress.com/2011/10/13/ubuntu-install-and-configure-cobbler/
• Build ISO
• Build ISO Base on Distro
cobbler buildiso –iso=/tmp/Fedora-15-x86_64.iso
–distro=”Fedora-15-x86_64″ –standalone
• Build ISO Base on Profile
cobbler buildiso –iso=/tmp/Fedora-15-x86_64.iso
–profiles=”Fedora-15-x86_64″
• Build ISO Base on System
cobbler buildiso –iso=/tmp/fedora.iso –systems=”fedora”
I was hoping to use a combo like:
cobbler buildiso --profiles="Fedora-15-x86_64"
--systems="server1.foo.fqdn, server1.foo.fqdn, server2.foo.fqdn,
server3.foo.fqdn" --standalone
but this example implies I have to include a distro.
Will this work ? : cobbler buildiso --profiles="this" --distro="that"
--systems="one,two,three,four" --standalone
