Explain this if you can. :-) I created a new profile that uses the empty default.ks file. I added a system that uses that profile. I ran koan and did an interactive install. Then I copied the ananconda-ks.cfg file from that sucessful install to the cobbler box. I edited the anaconda-ks.cfg file to change the hostname and IP address and to enable the disk partitioning section. That's all I changed. Then I created a new profile to use this anaconda-ks.cfg file and added a new system using that profile. I kicked off another koan session using this new profile and system. Guess what it did? It started running an interactive install again! I see in the web server log that it is requesting the ks.cfg file, and I looked at the file it's requesting and saw that it has the right info in it. I also can't figure out how to make 'cobbler status' work. I have a cobbler_track dir, I path everything through it, and 'cobbler status' returns no data. Any ideas? -- Timothy W.
