Cobbler looks cool. Kinda like a front end for pxelinux and isc dhcpd? The problem we have is we don't want to have to look up the mac address for a host in order to configure it. Cobbler seems to rely on that. Currently we have our dhcp server on an install network dump anyone that netboots on that network to a default pxelinux menu. That default menu allows a person to chose an os to install. Chosing one kicks them into one of several different default kickstart files. If I could get kickstart to ask for static network information like it would if I was installing from CD, I would be done. <div>On 8/30/07, Riggs, Ben <<a href="mailto:rigg0022@umn.edu">rigg0022@umn.edu</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Check out <a href="http://cobbler.et.redhat.com">http://cobbler.et.redhat.com</a> It's made our life here tons easier.
