Cobbler version variable?
I would like to note the version of Cobbler used to create a unit - that is, in %post, grab the version string and copy it into a file in the created unit's /root directory, similar to how Cobbler's $kickstart_done puts the kickstart there as cobbler.ks. Doing profile dumpvars, I don't see Cobbler's version string. Is there a way to do this? ___ cobbler mailing list cobbler@lists.fedorahosted.org https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
Re: Cobbler version variable?
You could provide a KS meta variable I guess.

Hm, yeah, this is going to break koan as well, isn't it for systems with small /boot filesystems. -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA/CoRA DivisionFAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane or...@cora.nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.cora.nwra.com ___ cobbler mailing list cobbler@lists.fedorahosted.org https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler

I could be wrong, but I don't think koan was initially designed with a focus on small /boot scenarios. Given it just downloads the vmlinuz +initrd.img, it certainly lends well to that scenario. However, any tool that's downloading vmlinuz+initrd.img to prep a system for install will be impacted by any file system layout for '/' or '/boot'. I suspect we'll have several additional tools that need adjustment to handle any /boot (or /) size restrictions.
