mrepo does some things about leaving ISO's mounted as loopbacks, which I personally don't like as I am suspicious of loopbacks and don't want to keep track of which ones are used/free and when. I do understand the idea of "I want to keep the ISO's around" but it has not really been a much requested feature. Here at work we have a huge library of trees (basically every distro we've ever built) on NFS via autofs and I frequently import that with --available-as to use as an install source. --Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
