If you loaded centos in via a profile.. you should be able to look at it like: cobbler profile report --name=centos-5.1-server-i386 or some such thing.. the default kickstart is then: # cobbler profile report --name=rhel-5.1-server-i386 profile : rhel-5.1-server-i386 distro : rhel-5.1-server-i386 kickstart : /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/rhel5/rhel5-hardware-default.cfg kernel options : {} ks metadata : {} virt file size : 32 virt ram : 512 virt type : auto virt path : virt bridge : xenbr0 virt cpus : 1 repos : [] dhcp tag : default server : <<inherit>> # cobbler system report --name=bakeneko_smoogespace_com system : bakeneko_smoogespace_com profile : rhel-5.1-server-i386 kernel options : {} ks metadata : {} netboot enabled? : True kickstart : /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/rhel5/rhel5-hardware-xendom0.cfg virt type : <<inherit>> virt path : <<inherit>> server : <<inherit>> interface : intf0 mac address : 00:19:B9:BB:8F:9E ip address : 192.168.2.1 hostname : bakeneko.smoogespace.com gateway : 192.168.2.255 subnet : 255.255.255.0 virt bridge : dhcp tag : net2 Here I am using kickstarts that have rhel5 items in them.
