Is there any chance we could get a type field into cobbler - similar to the description field? I'd really like to be able to use logic on this field to decide on what packages to install.
I could use the description field for this but its a bit free form and would be nice to be able to have a small field where we can add this info into.
If it were easy to do that would be great but if not then no biggie
thanks

You can use the "mgmt classes" along with the puppet integration to have puppet do it for you. Granted that assumes you use puppet :(

This is what ksmeta was designed for, you should use that.

James and Jeff are both right.
If you want to hijack the management_classes field for your own uses and not use Puppet, that's ok too...
