What do you think about providing live- and rescue systems for pxe with cobbler? With Fedora 9 there is a new script in the livecd-tools that turns a live-cd iso into a pxe bootable image. So we can now create a pxe live-system out of a kickstartfile.
See koan's livecd. It uses this to provide baremetal installations in PXE-less environments.
Providing rescue-system is already possible with cobbler. You only have to create a Kickstart file and a profile to provide it over pxe: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PXE/Rescue_PXE
There's an email a while back from Jennifer Cranfill about managing rescue images in a neat way with Cobbler.
We will probably be exploring this.
My question is, does it makes sense to manage the build process of the live images with cobbler? It is always possible to do this manualy, but i think it will be cool if cobbler does that for me.
The build process? Not really, IMHO. Does it make sense to make it easier for Cobbler to netboot non-installation images and handle abstracts around disk images and cloning? Yes. That's one of the things I want to explore next.
