I remember my problem now. I did not like how mrepo left the ISO images 
mounted all the time and I wanted instead to mount them on demand, so I 
tried to move this to autofs. The problem is that my ISO images are on a 
filer, which is automounted, and under these circumstances autofs simply 
cannot find the ISO images to mount.

Think I will sleep on this. I am fond of the way the installer handles 
ISO images on its own. In the long run I may need to make the contents 
of the ISO image available via http anyway and the ISO trick does not 
work with a url.

Where does Cobbler store the trees if it is instructed to import them? 
What is the recommended way of relocating the trees to a different path? 
I intend to use replication, and if I go the route of expanding the ISOs 
then I would prefer to do this with Cobbler on the master. I would want 
to store the trees on my filer so that I needn't sync it to my sub-cobblers.


Thanks,

Chris
