I can define static IP configured systems like this: cobbler system add --name=vera --hostname=vera.domainname --profile='centos-53-i386-puppet' \ --static=true --gateway=1.2.1.254 --subnet=255.255.128.0 --ip=1,2.5.27 --mac=00:0C:F1:f1:f1:f1 \ --name-servers='1.2.0.20 1.2.0.10' --name-servers-se

My use case is probably slightly different; I want to be able to define systems by MAC address, but have a single automated ISO (we can then use to build all our boxes). Live CD is probably overkill for my needs - I'm hoping to get away with pxelinux.0 on the ISO, with a hardcoded path to the (cob

Hi, for RHEL we set the dns-domain of systems using --hostname=host.domain.tld and are done. Searchdomains and nameservers are also handled by the cobbler- provided snippets just fine. For SLES the autoyast.xml file expects a value for the hostname _without_domain_ and the domain in a separate
