Hi,
ist it possible to pass a custom, human eyes friendly menu_label to pxeprofiles? Currently it just takes the profile name which is bound to certain restrictions. E.g. I'd like to call a profile in the PXE menu "Install Fedora 9 32 bits" or "Rescue system from Fedora 9/x86_64".

Not really, but I do have a suggestion... The templates in /etc/cobbler/*.template, if --ksmeta variables were available to them directly, could be implemented to use ksmeta["caption"] or the equivalent if they exist. Right now Cheetah is probably /not/ called in a way that makes this available, though pxegen.py could be modified to do this.
I'm not sure I'd want a "--label-for-pxe-menu" attached to "cobbler profile add" or not.
We have talked about adding a "--comment" field though that would not be suitable for that purpose.

Thinking rpm world, how about having --summary/--description like switches (maybe renamed to something else), that have a human readable one-liner/multi-comment that can be used at various places? The "summary" could be used both in web views as well as the PXE menu for instance.

This seems like it would work very well.
Make it so?
