Hi All, I've been looking at Cobbler for some time, and i've finally had cause to use it to provision a relatively small number of machines (~50). Its an ace tool, and has worked really well. I've only just started looking into its more advanced features, and i'm already amazed!
During the course of installing Cobbler, I found some paths at http://cobbler.et.redhat.com/cobbler-dhcp.php (at least incorrect on a RHEL5 machine). I'd have thought that RHEL5/FC6 would be the standard "stable" distribution to install Cobbler onto, so thought it might be worth updating the paragraph "Enabling DHCP Management" to read the following: "Change /etc/cobbler/settings so that manage_dhcp has the value of 1. Edit /etc/cobbler/cobbler/dhcp.template to taste -- mainly just making sure that the DHCP information is correct." I also wondered if it would be sensible to include the variations from the sample kickstarts that are required to kickstart RHEL{3,4,5} perhaps in comments inside sample.ks? I couldnt find it documented anywhere (i'm sure it is, but I ended up working this out by trial end error): For RHEL5 # Add activation Keys - Otherwise hangs waiting for activation key key --skip For RHEL4 # Add System language - Otherwise hangs waiting for default language choice lang en_US.UTF-8 langsupport --default=en_US.UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8 For RHEL3: # Remove --onboot=on from the network line # Remove selinux --disabled # Add mouse: mouse genericps/2 --device psaux --emulthree I'll try to add some of this to the Wiki, but there doesent seem to be an obvious place - any suggestions?
