Finally can anyone post some more examples of the ks templating??I assume you've seen the very basic examples in /etc/cobbler, these are the default files that cobbler uses when one runs "cobbler import". The simplest thing there is how it fills in $tree to point to the location of your kickstart tree as accessible from cobbler over http://. If you do a cobbler import (say, from an rsync mirror, or from a DVD as msquared has shown us how to do) and then run a "cobbler report", you'll see each profile uses a custom value for "tree", but in the kickstart, it's just shown as "$tree".One thing that would be useful (I may have mentioned this before) is if one was provisioning a set of machines that were to use static IP's.... the profile would be common to all of them, but the different ip's would be added with --ksmeta="ip=192.168.1.50" for the various system entries. This would allow their IP's to be set up appropriately in Anaconda.It would also be possible for two profiles to share a common kickstart source file, and template that differently.
Thanks Michael, that explains a lot more that what i could initially understand.. will let you know how it works out.
