Hi, I haven't kept up with this thread as closely as I'd like, Cobbler
was not originally written with Ubuntu in mind, I believe it was a
CentOS tool at first. And I have cobbler running on a VBox VM
provisioning a virtual mini-cluster with CentOS across several real
hosts as well as puppet. I'd like to try a PXE install of Ubuntu. As I
recall there has been debate on this subject. The documentation I've
found uses DHCP which I'm not using, an Ubuntu mini (which asks no
question) and I'm completely unclear on what repo I'd need. I understand
Ubuntu does has a kickstart system. I don't know how closely related it
is to the CentOS kickstart.
Is there any documentation on installing Ubuntu via cobbler using a
simple /etc/hosts table, not DHCP, and a kickstart? Or has anyone done
this and can give some serious hints/help/advise?
I need to know where to get an Ubuntu repo the would work with cobbler,
what cobbler reconfigs would be necessary if any, and a simple one
partition one swap file kickstart for it. If it's possible at all of
course. I recall there having been progress in this direction but
unclear on how much.
Thank you.
Chris J.
