Excellent.   Glad to see this is still going on.    I've added this to
"/contrib" in Cobbler's git and will go about testing this shortly (as
in next thing I do here).

Yes, moving to something a bit smarter than dd would be good.   If we
continue to go down that route, likely we would want to see partimage-ng
packaged for fedora as well -- so that we'd be able to host the cloner
image up on Fedora's infrastructure so other people wouldn't have to
build it (having all things part of Fedora is a requirement).   Does
anyone else have comments/experience on partimage vs partimage-ng?

After I get testing together (assuming it all works), I'll add some
instructions to the Wiki of how to use this in conjunction with cobbler
commands.   I have some spare machines here so I'm interested to see how
it all works out.    That might warrant making some commands to make
that easier, TBD.

I think the "newkoan" part of the config is unneccessary and left over
from koan's live image, so I'll probably clean that up.   I'm guessing
we can also probably pare-down the package set some and disable a few
extra services, though that's not major.

Anyhow, very cool.

Woah, I got your emails all out of order.  Just got this one somehow.

Anyways, the NFS export is running as no_root_squash.  It didn't occur to me earlier, but yeah, that could be an issue.  The script could easily run as another user (other than root), but then it wouldn't have permission to write to the hard drive device.  I'm not sure of a good way to solve that.
