Example of not mirroring an external distro tree: cobbler distro add --name=foo --initrd=/path/to/initrd.img --kernel=/path/to/vmlinuz # and make sure your kickstart file has a good "url" line in it OR: cobbler import --name=whatever --path=/mnt/mytrees --mirror-locally=nfs://server:/mytrees/ Example of just referencing an external repo: cobbler repo add --name=epel4i386 --mirror-locally=N --path=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/testing/4/i386/ cobbler repo add --name=mirror2 --path=http://somerepo-i-really-do-want-to-mirror/path/ cobbler profile edit --name=bar --repos="epel4i386 mirror2" Now the profile will have all of those repos available for kickstart, and if yum_post_install_mirror is enabled in /etc/cobbler/settings, the installed systems will know about the above in their installed /etc/yum.repos.d also Hopefully that answers the question? --Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
