ubuntu as part of PXE
by G. Michael Carter
Currently I have Fedora, CentOS and Oracle Enterprise Linux installs
offered through PXE. I want to also offer ubuntu as part of that set.
I see lots of messages on google that it should be possible but no clear
way to do it. Can anyone give me instructions on how to get it in
there? I'm assuming "cobbler distro add --breed debian" But from
there I'm lost. Can't find vmlinuz or anything like that on the ubuntu cd.
Thanks,
Michael

[ANNOUNCE] Cobbler 1.2.2
by Michael DeHaan
Cobbler 1.2.2 contains bugfixes from 1.2.1, and is a continuation of the
previous releases in support of the 1.2.0 stable branch. We will
continue to address bugfixes in 1.2.X until we get close to releasing 1.4
You can find source RPMs and tarballs here:
http://people.fedoraproject.org/~mdehaan/files/cobbler/
In addition, this has been submitted to the Fedora mirrors (F9, F8) and
EPEL (EL5, EL4) mirrors as usual.
The change list is very short. This fixes 3 relatively minor bugs: It
no longer loads the elilo location from the settings file, fixing users
who don't have that setting stored there (and who are also using DHCP
management). It now loads the "netboot_enabled" field in the WebUI
correctly. Finally, it adds "named_conf", which is a configuration
parameter to specify where BIND is located if using DNS management with
BIND, to the config file. Finally it also packages a few directories
that were previously not owned by cobbler.
You will also notice I've just made http://cobbler.et.redhat.com/ a
simple redirect to http://fedorahosted.org/cobbler. It's pretty clear
that's the center of cobbler documentation land now, and now this allows
anyone to fix the documentation anywhere it lives on the site.

Python Error Going to Default System
by Demetri Mouratis
Hi,
I'm running cobbler 1.02-1 on CentOS 4.
[root@lncbuild ~]# rpm -q cobbler
cobbler-1.0.2-1.el4
When I hit the url for my default kickstart, I get a python error.
This is causing all my kickstarts to fail.
I tried removing and re-adding the profile and system but no luck.
Thanks.

[PATCH] (Multiple) Moved and Documented builtins
by Dan Guernsey
I am unable to test these at this time (I get an error from api.py when
it encounters:
import acls
What package/file does this come from?)
Meanwhile, here are two patches. The first moves the builtins into
cheetah_macros and provides documentation. The second adds
cheetah_macros to setup.py and MANIFEST.in (you'll want to check my work).
I'll be as prompt as possible to help resolve any errors that this
untested code may (will) introduce.

custom menu_label
by Axel Thimm
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".

[PATCH] add named_conf to the default settings file
by John Eckersberg
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
The named_conf setting has always existed for BIND DNS management but
never made it into the default settings file, so not surprisingly folks
are not aware of its existence.
