Folks, One of my goals at NCSU has been to create a boot service that can handle all Intel-ish machines. I have that running now and am looking at using Cobbler as the glue to pull all the various parts together and to take advantage of koan. What thought has been given to non-Linux distributions? We install windows with linux but cobbler's mandated usage of ks=foo and other things on the append line don't make since here. What about other utilities such as memtest or dban? Perhaps a different breed option to alter the feature set? Jack
Can't speak about Windows or MacOS platforms - but I've done a little investigating in using cobbler to assist with booting/building FreeBSD systems and theoretically it should work. Granted I have not looked at what patches would be need to make this happen - but the underlying mechanics are there (you can feed a response file similar to kickstart to Freebsd, pxe booting works very will with freebsd etc.).
at this point this is one of the things on my ever growing "would be nice to get done soon" list :)
