Hi James!
I want to use cobbler (running on a laptop that is running Fedora 14) to
manage the installation of CentOS 6.2 x86_64 on a different host. There
are two different hosts, the laptop runs Fedora 14 and cobbler, and the
other machine will, I hope, be able to install CentOS x86_64 -- if it
can get the installation files from the cobbler server.
My question is whether the cobbler version which is running on Fedora 14
is just too outdated to manage this. Will it work okay? or, do I need to
first upgrade to the latest Fedora, thereby getting an updated cobbler
installation, and then attempt to install CentOS 6.2 on the other machine?
Please pardon my lack of clarity. I should try to write better.

Hi Bob,
Actually installing Redhat 6.x would actually place you in the reverse
direction, as Rhel6 (on which centos6.2 is based) is actually ~ Fedora
Core version 12.5, so you're FC14 packages are well newer than the
version you're trying to move to.
You should be able to netboot the laptop if you have a cobbler server
elsewhere with control of dhcp and PXE, but generally cobbler is a
server side application that manages network installs, and not
something you should be running on the client workstations.
Please let me know if this makes sense, or I've miss-interpreted your
question.

Hi,
I would like to do a network installation of CentOS 6.2 from the
Cobbler version that is installed on my Fedora 14 (x86_64) laptop.
Due to various events, I never upgraded my laptop to a more recent
version of Fedora. Right now, I want to get CentOS installed on a
server box so that I can run virtualization going. The server
doesn't have an optical drive, I prefer network installations if
possible. Is it possible to successfully install CentOS 6.2 from
Fedora 14?
Thanks
