Hi John,

Why is that the only option ? it takes 6 seconds to write the /tftpboot/ specs. Given a set of decent docs, anyone can just do that.

Cobbler is available in the CentOS Testing repository but there is very slim support for it. More information is available from here: http://cobbler.et.redhat.com/ .

I am also not sure what you mean by there is very slim support for it. Its in very wide scale use in many thousands of places, there is a very active community behind it and there are a lot of CentOS users using it as well. How did you work out there was very slim support for it ?
