This sounds good too. I think as I suggested earlier, probably start by
seeing what the PXE config for one looks like... and then we can see if
that makes more sense just with a distro add, or probably it's a
variant
of "cobbler image add" (systems can be attached to either profiles or
images, so it doesn't really matter).
This turned out to be a whip of a process, I was eventually able to get
pxelinux to boot the winpe disk image, but I had to hack away at the ISO
in order to get the info I needed out of it. Also, there were a couple of
files I had to extract on the win2008 server itself, as I couldn't seem
to find a Linux tool to extract from a WIM.
I'll be able to hack a solution for my environment myself, and maybe write
something on the wiki, but having an easy "import" solution doesn't seem
feasible at this time :-(
