Agreed. I already added notes about not being able to get it working in
CentOS 5. I provided the hacks link for those interested in trying, but
made sure it was stated that it did not work for me.

I've never used Cobbler before, so I can't write the docs right off
hand. If there's someone else willing to do this I can link to them. I'm
sure eventually I'll use it if I need to do network boots off CentOS 5,
but for the time being I don't plan on using it. Long term, maybe.

We could also change the title of my doc to make sure it's unique to
CentOS 4 and then the new document on cobbler could be unique: Diskless
Clients CentOS 5.

Also agreed. I tried to get it working myself just for documentation's
sake even though I don't require it's use on CentOS 5 yet, but it
failed. Can't say we didn't try. :)
