Hi all, I did already ask this previously, but though I have read most part of the user docs, I've been unable to find how to use bootpd with cobbler. I want to use bootpd because it just has dhcp features, configuration file is quite self explanatory, one line configs for each client and you just need one configuration file.
I was wondering if there was any already implemented thing. If there isn't anything implemented but the python interface with dhcp server is clean, I could try to abstract a module for bootpd. If not, I would be glad to know how is usually used cobbler with the dhcp server independant. I have supposed that the DHCP server is supposed to say "take pxelinux.0 from this server" and when the request arrives, depending on the asking MAC, returns one pxelinux.cfg and if it is in the cobbler database, it will jump into one menu, if it isn't, you have to type menu, select your favourite and launch it. I have read relative to all this: https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/wiki/DHCP%20Management => where seemed that cobbler didn't had bootpd support (for managing it itself) https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/wiki/Using%20Cobbler%20Import => here seems to explain how it works, and it seems to be as I described, if anyone confirms... Have read some more, but I don't think they are quite relevant for my question, or have just few relative words. My idea is to use mini isos- imports, and use debian-installer files (preseeding). If anyone knows also any graphical/template explainatory resource that makes easier to understand preseed, it is welcomed, Javier Domingo
