... snip ... I've applied this with several modifications to upgrade it. That all being said, the original was pretty awesome. What I've changed is to: (A) use xmlrpc instead of a cobbler API handle. Starting a new cobbler API handle during a fork with a very large system config would have been a /HUGE/ performance load, and doing this when 300 systems reinstall at once would be crazy harsh. (B) I've made this a Cheetah template. I'll explain more in a 2nd email so people will read it and not think it's a patch thread :) Very cool, thanks. --Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list cobbler@lists.fedorahosted.org https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
