[Spacewalk-list] Cobbler kickstarting in a Static IP setting

Tue Jun 26 19:23:46 UTC 2012

Hello,
could you please describe what you are doing, which cobbler
version you have and Spacewalk and OS versions as well?

Do you have KS profile created via Spacewalk? Do you see these
ISEs when editing its pre/post scripts? Could you please:

Thanks,
Jan
