Yes.  /usr/sbin/firstboot is just a python script.  I have a snippet that
over-writes it with a shell script that does a df -k, netstat -rn, ifconfig
-a and some other basic diagnostic stuff.    You also need to make sure in
your kickstart script on cobbler that you aren't disabling firstboot anymore
if you try this.

Sounds easier to just do a post install script within the kickstart or create a \
package that runs one time at first boot.  I just figured that there was some way to \
access utilities installed on the host, such as ethtool, etc from within the \
reporting template in cobbler.<br>
