(I'm new to cobbler, and using v 2.0.11)

'cobbler check' is advising:

1 : some network boot-loaders are missing from /var/lib/cobbler/loaders, 
you may run 'cobbler get-loaders' to download them, or, if you only want 
to handle x86/x86_64 netbooting, you may ensure that you have installed 
a *recent* version of the syslinux package installed and can ignore this 
message entirely.

It so happens that we are, at present, entirely 'x86_64', using RHEL 5.6 
and above, and all seems well.  So in my case I probably don't need to 
go any further at present.  (Correct?)

But when, for the fun of it, I tried 'cobbler get-loaders' it appeared 
to hang.  I strongly suspect that this is because we need http proxying 
to reach off-site, and it isn't clear whether 'cobbler get-loaders' 
uses, or can use, http proxying (either by command argument or 
environment variable).  Have I missed something in the documentation?
