Well, cobbler expects wget to be there; many of the built-in snippets
use it. Just because yum requires urlgrabber does not mean that it is
guaranteed to be there; not all distros use yum. IMHO, wget is a safer bet.
He was talking about kickstart.
kickstart is a mode of anaconda
anaconda requires yum
yum requires urlgrabber
For a fedora/rhel/centos install yum is going to be there, so urlgrabber
will be there.
I do not dispute that wget is a fine choice, i was just trying to help
his specific issue.
no harm intended.
