you might want to look for alternatives here, maybe http://theforeman.org could be an alternative.

Hi,

I'm using Cobbler on a CentOS 5 machine, using only the command line
tools - I don't use the web interface.

It's working perfectly for me for CentOS builds.

I've been asked to set it up to enable Ubuntu builds and preseeds - so
we can have a fully automated installation procedure for developer
workstations.

Normally I just provide the installer kernel image and initrd, and
then pass a kickstart, which installs over the network from a local
CentOS repo.

I want to do something similar with Ubuntu.  I've dropped the kernel
image and initrd in place, and Cobbler finds these and launches the
installer.  However, how do I get the preseed to be picked up?  I
tried just passing it in as
--kickstart=/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/my.preseed, but that didn't
seem to have any impact at all.

How can I do this?

Thanks,

S.
