It's a required dependancy.

Maybe you need to talk to Ralph about that? He said keep him updated on
the subject at hand. I thought it was a list for the wiki articles.
Apparently I have come to the wrong place. As this was to be a
continuation to:
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/DisklessClients . The author had already
agreed to add it to it or provide a link to on the wiki. My view is
that, it is pertinent to the wiki. Do you think I need to post this in
the regular centos list or where do I need to head to? I really don't
need support for it as I will eventually get it rolling. 

>From my understanding there's no feed back on it, little if none. One
user had posted saying it would not work and he had installed it in a
Virtual Machine Configuration. 

So let me know what I need to here. Testing Repo has changed since last
week, python was in it then and now it is not. I am pretty sure it was,
but I may be wrong....
