I am building a new cobbler server, going back to the beginning and starting form scratch. The links from the "Source RPM Build Instructions for RHEL5" section of the download page are broken.
So they are. Thankfully these are in EPEL now so I can update the links/instructions. Will do.
That's really all you have to do to install as well -- just configure your system to use EPEL as a yum repo and "yum install cobbler". There's not really a need to rebuild the source RPMs unless you are doing development on them.
The the breed ooption is new, since the last time I was paying attention. How well does it work with a Ubuntu Gutsy or Hardy distro?
Should do fine. Basically all --breed=debian does is change the kernel arguments so that what you feed to --kickstart is actually treated as a preseed. Ubuntu should work just the same. I believe if you leave it unmodified (no --breed parameter) the kernel arguments /might/ work with Ubuntu's mutated version of kickstart also, though you'll need to be careful about what goes in the template.
This go around I am going to try Xen based VMs. Need to read the documentation more carefully, So far I have not spotted the section that tells me how to setup the lvm storage for virt-file-size to allocate from.
"man lvm" (specifically pvcreate, vgcreate, but not lvcreate), followed by "man koan" for --virt-path where you name the volume group to carve out storage from.
