You can match on the IP/MAC address, can't you? So we could

at least use a custom sif for systems?
Under "FILENAME REMAPPING", in in.tftpd's man page:
\i The IP address of the requesting host, in dotted-quad notation
(e.g. 192.0.2.169).
\x The IP address of the requesting host, in hexadecimal notation
(e.g. C00002A9).
This would imply your nodes get reserved DHCP leases which isn't
feasible for most situations (such as multi-subnet setups since host
declarations are global and not subnet specific).
Using these, one could create /NTLDR -> /windows/\i/NTLDR rewrites, but
wouldn't allow profiles to be selected from the "default" menu.
These two aspects (no host reservations and being able to select
different profiles from the "default menu") are in my list of requirements.
If that's not an option, are we expecting cobbler at this point
to do
nothing but a vanilla XP/2003 installation?
We're not yet expecting cobbler to do anything without the ris-linux
package being reviewed and properly landing in Fedora / EPEL
We'll see where we go from there. It's obviously the Windows part that
is going to require the most work.
