I would love to be able to have one kickstart file work in cobbler/koan

I would understand I would have to have different stores of
replacements, but some synergy of template/macro/substitution would be
great.
I agree. I probably won't tackle the template/macro/substitution
anytime real soon, as it does sound like something that might be best
planned out across all the tools.
Here is a random idea to put on the table, which I'm sure has probably
been discussed before elsewhere-
How about something like a 'ksdefine' directive in kickstart, that gets
applied to everything in the kickstart? Then the livecd-creator
commandline example I gave, basically just becomes the ability to
specify a single line of kickstart directive on the commandline (perhaps
multiple times).
Then even have it so that on the kernel commandline you could do
something like
"ks=http://bla/foo.ks ksdefine=ADDUSER=guest ksdefine=..."
Anyway, those are just the examples that come to mind. I've looked at
cobbler/koan, but never actually used it. Perhaps you can describe some
simple examples of how you think the syntax could work across both tools.
-dmc
livecd-creator \
--config=fedora-livecd-desktop.ks \
--config=emacs-and-friends.ks \
--config=add_user_in_liveinit.ks \
--define=LIVEUSER=guest
The result would be that instead of the current user that gets
autologged in being named 'fedora', it would be named 'guest'.
