Create new profile from a iso
by Jagga Soorma
Hi All,
I was given a custom iso to build some servers and instead of
attaching the iso and building new servers, I am trying to see if
there is a way to deploy that image via pxe instead. The iso that
they gave me is only 38MB in size and has the following contents:
--
# ls
boot.cat general.msg initrd.img isolinux.cfg options.msg
rescue.msg splash.jpg vesamenu.c32
boot.msg grub.conf isolinux.bin memtest param.msg
custom.msg TRANS.TBL vmlinuz
--
They have hard coded specific kickstart files in the isolinux.cfg and
have custom messages/logos displayed in this image. This image is
based on RHEL 6.6. I am wondering if I can do the opposite of
buildiso. Can I build a profile from the above files some how and
deploy the same build via pxe. This would make life much easier to
deploy via pxe and not attach a iso to every server we have to build.
Thanks for your help.

Download a file from the Cobbler server to be processed during the Ubuntu installation
by Rubén Pérez
Hello!
I hope someone can help me with a problem that I cannot see how to fix.
I'm using cobbler to install Ubuntu boxes, and I'd like to manage their
configuration with Ansible. My problem is that I would like Cobbler to
install my SSH public id into the boxes, so that Ansible can connect
without providing a password.
According to what I've found in [1], I could do something like this:
d-i preseed/late_command string in-target wget
http://$http_server/cblr/svc/op/script/$what/$name/ script=my_public_key
-O /tmp/thekey; \
in-target cat /tmp/thekey >> /home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys \
My question is, how can I provide the public key file in a more standard
location? I.e. how can I make the file available for download, just like
the scripts, but in a "files" directory, or anything similar?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards

Mail notification
by Personal Técnico
Hi,
My cobbler configuration has configured email notification when a system
installation finish. Hovewer, kickstart is correct, system installation
finish but there is no mail notification, so I suppose there is
"something" incorrect...
How could I debug that? By the moment, I'm marking with "#raw" and "#end
raw" some parts of the kickstart and snippets... but, is there a better
solution?
Thanks
