Fair enough, I suppose. Cobbler is really cool stuff, if you're
interested in automating the provisioning of new hosts. But it's also
not a tool that does much hand-holding. So you'll want to have a
decent grasp of PXE, DHCP, DNS, kickstart, and other core system
services to take advantage of the tools cobbler provides.

The all-caps "SERVING" is just bad form in the init script, IMO. I
even sent a patch upstream a long-time back, but it was not accepted.
I should try again now that there are different maintainers. I feel
that packages should follow the same standard for output during init,
and that means not printing useless messages like the one cobbler
currently prints..

It may be worth hitting 'i' at boot when it says something like "press
'i' for interactive boot" as that should step through each startup
service individually..
