1) It seems that the URL for the initial Cobbler kickstart file is

The original URL which is passed on the kernel boot line as:
http://<server>/cblr/svc/op/ks/profile/rhel-i386-server-4-8-default:1:Spacewalk-Public-Cert
Is being truncated to:
http://<server>/cblr/svc/op/ks/profile/rhel-i386-server-4-8-
Which seems to stop the entire process and Anaconda starts asking me
questions, since it can't get this file.
I'm going to go ahead and answer my own question. I had forgotten that
there were issues with pre-RHEL5 installers in that the boot parameters
were limited to 255 characters. I had thought this was fixed in later
versions of RHEL4 to increase it to like 2k and definitely explains why
this works perfectly in RHEL5.
Since Cobbler+Spacewalk generates such freakishly large kickstart URLs
and I want to pass some other networking options configured in the
"distro", is there any way to get this to work for RHEL4? I'm trying to
install RHEL4.7 ...
Does anyone have any insight they can lend?
Use your own internal tiny url service to shorten and redirect the
requests?
