Hi!





I am building a GPU cluster and I wanted to use Cobbler alongside with Puppet for management. I already managed to install Ubuntu on machines with a preseed file written by me, however there are a few question I could not find the answer to on the web:




How can I create an Ubuntu repo that IS NOT a mirror of any central repo but will be populated by my own .deb files? Can Cobbler help me with that?


What is the canonical way of booting bare metal systems with Cobbler? Where should PXE be in the boot order? How can I tell cobbler to boot a certain distro once, and after that do another one? (I tried the --boot-once, or something similar option, but did not work)


I saw that the 2.6 documentation no longer lists apt as a possible repo type. Does this mean that Ubuntu support is being dropped, or just not supported as a repo type (or just a typo in the docs).


Is there any way to get the documentation in pdf format to be able to read it offline on a phone?(lots of mass transit for me)





Thank you in advance,

Máté
