Hi Peter, No, I don't think that'll work... but if you wrote a quick cgi to accept the args of mac addr and netboot then you could exec the cobbler command... something like %post wget http://cobbler/cgi-bin/done_install?mac=00:11:22:33:44:55&netboot=n You'd of course want to do the normal sanitization of user data. I've got a script that I could modify to do this, let me know if you need/want it.
