As always, look out for .rpmnew files and compare them to the versions that you may have modified. These can be in /etc/cobbler/* and /var/lib/cobbler, so check both places. > > 1.

Over the last 3 days I've been doing a lot of work and testing on this, and should be ready to merge that work into the release24 branch. This will mean a beta6 RPM will be released in the near future. If you have any other questions, let me know.
