Chris pointed out an email earlier today that I'm not finding right
now. Basicly someone had an idea of stacking distros something like:
# cobbler list
Fedora-10-x86_64
Desktop
joeblow1.la.int
janeblow1.la.int
web-farm
web1.ny.int
web1.la.int
dns-server
ns1.ny.int
ns2.fra.int
etc, etc. With the current design of cobbler, it seems fairly trivial
to do this. Instead of Going Distro --> Profile --> System Record
things would need to be taught to recurse, but it shouldn't be
impossible.
This could cut down the number of profiles for some setups
considerably and would be a generally nice feature to have.
