Cobbler import with "--available-as" is in fact what you want if it is
the same as the DVD structure. If it's not, you may wish to skip
"cobbler import" and just do "cobbler distro add" to add the installer
kernel+initrd.
Package mirroring (such as "Everything" and "updates") is done with
"cobbler repo add" / "cobbler reposync". If you already have a repo
mirrored, you can use "cobbler repo add" with "--mirror-locally=0" to
represent it in the configuration. Then you edit the cobbler profile
objects to mention which repositories they use with "cobbler profile
edit --name=Fedora-9-i386-profile --repos="F9-i386-Everything
F9-i386-updates" or equivalent.
