All,
So I’m still new to cobbler, but so far I’m very pleased with it. I
was considering rolling my own tool to do a lot of this, but I’m happy
not to. One thing that I was doing before I found cobbler and many
people may find useful is using the anaconda vnc remote install
option. It’s very useful to be able to watch the progress of the
anaconda installer or even manually run it from the cobbler server. It
would be nice if there was a snippet to help with setting this up, and
also a trigger could help with opening the vnc listening viewer and
closing it after the install is complete. I’m still becoming familiar
with the cobbler architecture, so I won’t try to bite this off myself
yet, but this should be trivial for someone familiar with cobbler.

A trigger to launch the VNC viewer probably isn't appropriate as
cobblerd runs as a daemon (headless), though I could see a smart
"cobbler vnc list" command that looked at the log data in
/var/log/cobbler.log for running installations and printed out details
about each one, such as which IP was on each VNC session. The existing
log data is probably enough to do that, or close.
