For RHEL6 I'm trying to gain an understanding of controlling the building of 
"/boot/initramfs-<version>.img" in a cobbler install.  (For RHEL5 folk, this is 
roughly analogous to "mkinitrd".)

Our ultimate aim is for the final system to have a slightly modified version of 
this "initramfs".  At present, we do this after cobbler has already installed 
the system, by adding a file defining our modification into 
"/etc/dracut.conf.d", then running "dracut" and rebooting.

But it would be nice if we could do this earlier on, at the end of the cobbler 
installation itself.

I guess that the cobbler process already invokes "dracut" somehow.  Is this 
correct?  If so, then it might be possible for us to arrange delivery of our 
"/etc/dracut.conf.d" file during cobbler post-install, but before that dracut 
run occurs.

Hints and clues as to how cobbler controls dracut are welcome, please!

(By the way: cobbler version  2.0.11, if that makes a difference.  Yes, I know, 
it's very old; we plan to update in a couple of months.)
