Needless to say, 'cobbler buildiso' is helping a lot, but I
only seem
to be able to
point a machine to a system definition by creating a custom ISO.
Is there a way to present the booting hosts with the menu they'd get
over TFTP? The machines under fairly heavy development and so we're building
an ISO each time we add a profile at the moment.
cobbler buildiso produces the same menu. To do it dynamically requires
investing some more work in the Fedora-liveCD based "Cobber live CD"
which I was working on a few
weeks ago. There is some black magic that needs to be done to make it
interactive though. This is something I want to do but is on the back
burner for a while. If someone would
like to have a go at it, I did add the code to koan to allow prompting
for the live CD case -- the trick though is tweaking the actual live CD
config to make it visable versus
just showing the login prompt, etc.
Ideally I'd like some way to get the booting servers to the TFTP
server, then let
the usual cobbler mechanisms take place (per-system settings etc.
pulled by MAC address).
FWIW, The live CD does this, but all over HTTP, it doesn't need TFTP.
Thanks!
