(I'm new to cobbler, and using v 2.0.11)
'cobbler check' is advising:
1 : some network boot-loaders are missing from /var/lib/cobbler/loaders,
you may run 'cobbler get-loaders' to download them, or, if you only want
to handle x86/x86_64 netbooting, you may ensure that you have installed
a *recent* version of the syslinux package installed and can ignore this
message entirely.
It so happens that we are, at present, entirely 'x86_64', using RHEL 5.6
and above, and all seems well. So in my case I probably don't need to
go any further at present. (Correct?)
But when, for the fun of it, I tried 'cobbler get-loaders' it appeared
to hang. I strongly suspect that this is because we need http proxying
to reach off-site, and it isn't clear whether 'cobbler get-loaders'
uses, or can use, http proxying (either by command argument or
environment variable). Have I missed something in the documentation?
