So, the next step in clonezilla integration is getting "cobbler sync"
not to blow away the update. I can move things around so that I'm not
dropping files in the cobbler directory, but how can I add something to
/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default and have it stick? Is there a template
or some other way to manually add grub/pxe options?
