You'll probably want to put your kickstart file in /etc/cobbler
When you run cobbler sync, cobbler parses through your kickstart file
and takes any templating you've added and transforms it for use by
anaconda.
For example:
network --bootproto=static --ip=$ip_address --netmask=$netmask
--gateway=$gatewa
y --nameserver=$nameserver --hostname=$hostname --device=eth0
--onboot=on
$ip_address, $netmask, etc. are all variables that cobbler will
replace with actual values (that's I've provided when I did a
"cobbler system add..."
Once cobbler has done this it takes the resulting kickstart file and
drops it in the directories /var/www/cobbler/kickstarts or
/var/www/cobbler/kickstarts_sys
This way if you change the template kickstart (e.g.
/etc/cobbler/rhel-5-webservers.ks) to add something new then you can
just run "cobbler sync".
If you had 5 systems setup to use a profile with that kickstart file
all 5 would be updated automagically, instead of having to deal with
each.
OK thanks all - i have FINALLY got a box installed using cobbler and
also rebuilt using koan - Now to fine tune things but so far its excellent.
I just wished i could now get the webgui running, i cant get in due to
an xmlrpc error but maybe i'll leave that for another day.
thanks
