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.
