Ah, I see.
To verify that it does the right thing, run a "cobbler sync", and check
out the kickstart files as seen at
/var/www/cobbler/kickstarts/profilename/ks.cfg -- you should see a good
parameter passed in for "url" towards the top, plus references to your
repo in the middle (search for "repo") and also in post, where it
installs the repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d
Ah, I see. 'cobbler sync' builds the ks.cfg from the supplied kickstart
file. I did notice that '$' must be escaped in the supplied kickstart
file, since it's used to introduce ks meta data.
Anaconda kindly generates anaconda-ks.cfg when it installs a system for
you. Can that be used as a source for 'cobbler sync', as long as the '$'
are escaped? If not, what other things ought to be done first?
Yes. In general, you don't have to escape all of the '$' characters, but
only the ones that cause
problems.
\$(list-hard-drives) is the only such example that requires mandatory
escaping in the cobbler files.
Generally this means anaconda-cfg.ks files can be used without modification.
