modified initrd for cobbler

## Download the base distro

Find the distro you want at:

http://releases.ubuntu.com/

```
wget http://releases.ubuntu.com/trusty/ubuntu-14.04.5-server-amd64.iso

md5sum ubuntu-14.04.5-server-amd64.iso 

#  (compare it the sum to the the MD5SUMS file in the same download loc)

curl http://releases.ubuntu.com/trusty/MD5SUMS -s | grep ubuntu-14.04.5-server-amd64
```


## Set up the distro in cobbler

Had to get out of the osic-prep container and into the deploy device to mount the iso


deploy device
```
cd /usr/local/var/lib/lxc/osic-prep/rootfs/root
mkdir mnt
mount -o loop ubuntu-14.04.5-server-amd64.iso mnt/
rsync -a --progress mnt/ ./ubuntu-14.04.5-server-amd64
umount mnt
rmdir mnt
```


osic-prep container
```
cobbler import --name=ubuntu-14.04.5-server-amd64 --path=/root/ubuntu-14.04.5-server-amd64
rm -rf ubuntu-14.04.5-server-amd64*


cobbler profile add --name=ubuntu-14.04.5-server-unattended-osic --distro=ubuntu-14.04.5-server-x86_64 --kickstart=/opt/osic-preseeds/ubuntu-server-14.04-unattended-cobbler-osic.seed --dhcp-tag=default --enable-gpxe=0 --enable-menu=1

```



## Update the initrd

```
# 1st time, make a backup
cp /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/ubuntu-14.04.5-server-amd64/install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/ubuntu-14.04.5-server-amd64/install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd_orig.gz


# Unpack it into a temp directory
mkdir initrd_update
cd initrd_update
gzip -cd /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/ubuntu-14.04.5-server-amd64/install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz | cpio -id
