Re: [cobbler] Doing PXE without control over the DHCP server

2012-04-30 Thread Dick Davies
I might be misreading the links. Our main DHCP server knows nothing about Cobbler, and we don't run a dhcpd on the Cobbler host. we use Cobbler to server the /pxelinux.0 (and associated gubbins) and the rest of the kickstart stack and just set next-server in the main DHCP server config (which we
