Currently there are three things enqueued for 1.6.5

- Allow F-11 imports and also create distros that correctly pair PAE and
non-PAE kernel/initrds (creating one distro/profile for each combo).
If there is anything else that needs to be included, let me know.
Do you know if the updates you added to find newer bootloaders (specifically yaboot) are included? If that's too invasive, would a short term solution of updating the yaboot binary included in 1.6.x be acceptable?
Thanks, James
I've implemented the "download boot loaders" code in the devel branch.
I don't want to update the 1.7 boot loaders because it involves checking in /more/ binary file changes in git, which is what we are trying to eliminate. However seeing I think the number of folks wanting to netboot ppc would be really low, you could always update the yaboot file post install to supply a newer version.
That's what I'm doing now, I just need to always remember to reset the symlink to the newer yaboot whenever I run 'cobbler sync'. If I ever get around to creating some documentation (https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/ticket/432), I'll include this point.
Thanks, James
