I've looked at it, especially the parts that try to restore
hostname/sid information. It does look a bit cumbersome to setup and I
manage similar things with booting linux off pxe and using ntfsclone.
Yes, my thoughts were the same WRT setup difficulty.
Is it possible to boot into cobbler/anaconda and skip the package
selection part? E.g. only have custom scripts %post applied like
ntfsclone from an nfs share?
One way to do this is to use cobbler to PXE boot a live image. The
live image can read any data it needs from /proc/cmdline (which can be
passed
via cobbler).
