Using better loaders Using better loaders
======================== If you want custom loaders, you will need to place them under <code>/var/lib/cobbler/loaders</code> and modify cobbler to copy them over to <code>/tftpboot</code> during a sync.

wget -O splash.png http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~leo/support/pxe/splash.png 



If you do ad new loaders, you will need to add the code to copy them over manually.  cd /var/lib/cobbler/loaders
