man cobbler, and the wiki and doc webpages are great for this.
the variables usually correspond with keywords that anaconda
considers valid within a kickstart file.
so, --hostname=some.host.com, not HOSTNAME
well the following is accepted by cobbler
# cobbler system add --profile=CentOS-4.5-i386 --name=test
--ip=192.168.10.23 --mac=00:0C:29:71:D7:4D --hostname=test
but when the system boots it sits waiting for me to add IP information
but the netmask and gateway are filled - it is getting them from the .ks
# cat /etc/cobbler/kickstart_CentOS-4.5-i386.ks | grep network
# Use network installation
network --bootproto=static --device=eth0 --onboot=on --netmask
255.255.255.0 --gateway 192.168.10.1 --nameserver 192.168.10.4
can you please advise me on what my template file should look like?
I have looked here
https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/cobbler/wiki/KickstartTemplating
but i cant seem to figure it out
thanks

Tom,
You might be interested in joining #cobbler on irc.freenode.net.
There are lots of folks that can help walk you through the templating stuff.
Looks like you are missing the line to "network" that adds your IP
address to the kickstart :)
That's as simple as adding $ip_address and $mac_address in the right
places of the file.
At the bottom of the kickstart templating page there are also pointers
to how kickstart directives work, and a link to a good presentation from
Linux World that explains some
advanced stuff also.
