Hi

Since i have now managed to get my install going i can PXE machines (in
this case just in vmware) but i have what i imagine is a simple problem.


I am import a distro and then add a profile like so

# cobbler profile add --name=centos --distro=CentOS-4.5-i386
--kickstart=/var/www/cobbler/kickstarts/CentOS-4.5-i386/ks.cfg

#

this works fine but then when i do the cobbler sync i get

# cobbler sync
sync distro: CentOS-4.5-i386
sync distro: CentOS-4.5-xen-i386
sync profile: CentOS-4.5-i386
sync profile: CentOS-4.5-xen-i386
sync profile: centos
There appears to be an formatting error in the template file.
For completeness, the traceback from Cheetah has been included below.
Traceback (most recent call last):

Error while rendering kickstart file
/var/www/cobbler/kickstarts/CentOS-4.5-i386/ks.cfg to
/var/www/cobbler/kickstarts/centos/ks.cfg


Now if i escape out the part of
/var/www/cobbler/kickstarts/CentOS-4.5-i386/ks.cfg causing the issue ie.


%pre
# Determine how many drives we have
set $(list-harddrives)
let numd=$#/2
d1=$1
d2=$3

It still fails but when i look back at the
/var/www/cobbler/kickstarts/CentOS-4.5-i386/ks.cfg file the back slashes
have been removed!


Is there something like a master .ks file thats over writing bits of the
custom .ks ?


thanks
