I've written a CGI script and documented a process for making live CDs that works with Cobbler. My script simply returns the appropriate kickstart file. The kickstart can be specified manually, with parameters appended to the url??profile=foo or ?system=baz?or with no parameters, the script will look the requesting IP address up through an XML-RPC call to Cobbler to find the appropriate system, and use that kickstart. The main idea behind the live CD is simple?append ks=http://path/to/the/cgi/script.py to the isolinux.cfg file on a live CD with Anaconda. I use the Fedora rescue disks. They?re fairly small, under 100 megs, and have some useful things built in. However, you can do some cool stuff beyond adding the kickstart url. I've put together a cobbler splash, and changed the menu. I have pictures and a little more detail on modifying the livecd on my web site: http://feelslikeburning.com/projects/live-cd-restoring-with-cobbler/ I figure most everyone on the list is already familiar with the process, so I won't paste it all in here.
