Today I worked on the chapter that purports to tell people how to create domU images from scratch. It's got some minor technical issues -- I don't know what version of cobbler I used to test the stuff I wrote, but it's like nothing that I can find any reference for today. Wrote maybe 400 words, tested some cobbler and pypxeboot related stuff. I should also toss in some stuff about making a distro mirror. Maybe.
We also need to test pypxeboot again. I swear I've seen it work, but my memory has been. . . less than reliable lately. Luke claims that it doesn't work and never has. It'll all end in tears, I know it.
Apart from that, the other stuff looks ready to go -- tar, using the distro package manager, installing via qemu, even systemimager. It's mostly just cobbler that I'm worried about. Damn redhatisms. Oh, look, my spell check claims "redhatism" isn't even a word. TAKE THAT, REDHAT. BELIEF IN YOU IS TANTAMOUNT TO ERROR.
