Hello,
Am I missing something or did the <<inherit>> ability disappear from
the kickstart parameter on a system definition?
Our old cobbler server is running 2.0.9. When I define a system,
the kickstart parameter is a text box that defaults to <<inherit>>.
I then get what I want because I choose the profile which defines a
kickstart parameter (along with other interdependent parameters).
Our new server is running 2.6.5. When I define a system, the
kickstart parameter is a pull-down that defaults to default.ks. It
does not matter what profile I choose, it will not override this
default. I need to pick the kickstart parameter on the system
definition. If this is the case, why is there a kickstart parameter
on the profile? It is always ignored.
Is there a way to get back the inheritance from the profile?
This is a bug introduced upstream:

I looked at the reference posting but it must be talking about a different
release of Cobbler/Cobbler-Web as it does not look anything like what I have.
However, I figured out how to fix it, but how do I submit the fix to somebody?
The fix for Cobbler 2.6.5 and Cobbler-Web 2.6.5 is:
