Plenty! :-)
One area that could of great help is creating a live inventory image
that could be pxe booted. Right now we use some smolt code, some
anaconda code and some of our own code to report what is in a test
system. This works but it only runs from RHEL5 because of the
requirement on anaconda. If we could remove the anaconda requirement
then it could be made to work under Fedora10 as a live image.
Does it mean that anaconda isn't supported on Fedora10?
Why do you say we need to remove anaconda requirement?
More detail?
I'll commit the current ugly client code we have now to beakers
git Today.
Does this sound like something you could tackle? Skills required would
be python, rpm knowledge, kickstart foo. :-)
yes, I can do that. I have known python and rpm knowledge. So I need
time to study kickstart.
