This worked for me: [mdehaan@mdehaan cobbler]$ sudo cobbler profile edit --name=mine --kickstart=/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/sample.ks [mdehaan@mdehaan cobbler]$ sudo cobbler profile edit --name=mine2 --kickstart="<<inherit>>" [mdehaan@mdehaan cobbler]$ sudo cobbler profile report --name=mine2 | grep kickstart kickstart : <<inherit>> In general, I shouldn't have exposed "<<inherit>>" as a user visible item in the Web app or CLI, such a concept is too abstract to make folks need to understand it -- though setting a kickstart to "" means something else .. it means don't use a kickstart, so I needed to put something in there that wasn't likely to be used as regular text. Just as a general pointer, "doesn't work" isn't descriptive enough. You need to post what things actually do when they don't work :) --Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list cobbler(a)lists.fedorahosted.org https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
