Michael, Regarding your questions, I downloaded a file called cobbler-0.6.0.tar.gz from the website http://cobbler.et.redhat.com/ . I extracted it, ran some kind of a build command, to end up with cobbler-0.6.0.linux-x86_64.tar.gz, which I untarred from the root directory. At no point did I see a requirement/prerequisite of Cheetah.Template (not on the website, not in the .tar.gz file, not during the build phase). When I ran the "cobbler check" command, and I got the failure, is when I discovered that something was missing. I have since then loaded Cheetah templated from an RPM file on the RHEL 5 disks, and cobbler has fewer complaints now. Still having problems getting a tftpd to stay running. The tftp-server RPM is installed, but when I start tftp, it immediately exits. When I first looked, I didn't see an RPM for the x86_64 architecture, which is why I went with the source file. So, I did not do a --force RPM install of cobbler, as I didn't have an RPM file, and the Cheetah.Template file came from the RHEL5 disks (disk 4, as I recall). I did not have to do a --force on it, either, but I did install it _after_ cobbler had failed. My suggestions: 1. On the webpage, mention any/all prerequisites, and maybe even how to test if they are installed. 2. On the download page, link directly to the file wanted (x86, x86_64, etc.) directly, rather than dropping people into the Fedora EPEL 5 (x86_64) first page. I did not catch that I could jump to a letter at the top of the page, and thought that the page showing was all that was available. I did look in the links on the left, but didn't see it anywhere there, either.

If I'm wrong, I'd be interested from what repository this came from or what your install process was. You possibly force installed the python-cheetah from another distro rather than one that was built for your distro and version of Python? --Michael _______________________________________________ et-mgmt-tools mailing list et-mgmt-tools@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/et-mgmt-tools _______________________________________________ et-mgmt-tools mailing list et-mgmt-tools@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/et-mgmt-tools
