I'd be more than happy to help out with the writing. Just message me off list with whatever help, questions, or pointers you need.

That is when cobbler > makes it to the extra repo. Any ideas on this? Agreed. I already added notes about not being able to get it working in CentOS 5. I provided the hacks link for those interested in trying, but made sure it was stated that it did not work for me. I've never used Cobbler before, so I can't write the docs right off hand. If there's someone else willing to do this I can link to them. I'm sure eventually I'll use it if I need to do network boots off CentOS 5, but for the time being I don't plan on using it. Long term, maybe. We could also change the title of my doc to make sure it's unique to CentOS 4 and then the new document on cobbler could be unique: Diskless Clients CentOS 5. > In my opinion I can't provide an application to a client in real life > that requires more Hacks than the law allows.

I tried to get it working myself just for documentation's sake even though I don't require it's use on CentOS 5 yet, but it failed.

In the mean time I'll be testing Cobbler out from the Testing repo this week. Perhaps maybe a section could be written on the Wiki for using cobbler and you could provide a link to it from yours. Example: Please see this link here for CentOS 5 Diskless Installs. That is when cobbler makes it to the extra repo. Any ideas on this? In my opinion I can't provide an application to a client in real life that requires more Hacks than the law allows. In reality they left it out for a good reason. There's tons of changes between 4 and 5. -- ~/john OpenPGP Sig:BA91F079 ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs
