I don't disagree, but it occurs to me that the kickstart can also explain what /parts of/ a distribution should be installed (via %packages), so in part it is explaining /what/ (albeit not what /distribution/). I still think that you should be able to specify a default kickstart file to associate with the distro (since in a given installation it may be likely that /how/ is the same for all of the configurations, and you only want to customers /what parts/ are installed, via the profile). Or perhaps an ability to build a profile on top of another profile and just customise some of it? Or another layer above or below profiles? Perhaps 'customisation' or something? > >I ask because I notice the kickstart option to cobbler profile add is > >optional. So what kickstart is used if the option is not given explicitly in 'cobbler profile add'? Regards, Msquared...
