Oh, I see. Well if you mount the DVD under the web server's document 
root, like this:

mount -o loop /home/rlc/Download/Fedora-11-i386/Fedora-11-i386-DVD.iso 
/var/www/html/fedorainstall

Then of course you can install Fedora 11 to a machine over the network, 
using the "medialess install" method discussed in the Fedora 11 
installation guide. Also you can see a list of files and access the 
entire document tree of the DVD and download those files over http if 
you use this method. The Cobbler wiki simply suggests loop mounting the 
DVD, the wiki doesn't say where exactly to mount it on. So I mounted it 
on /var/www/html/fedorainstall as I was accustomed to, then I fed 
cobbler this incantation:


cobbler import --path=/var/www/html/fedorainstall --name=Fedora11 --arch=i386

and that did indeed seem to generate quite a lot of cobbler output to the 
terminal. I can post screenshots or logfiles if those exist of what I'm talking 
about if I'm still being confusing.

Bob
