Because the mirror had the structure "Centos/5.2" in it, it automatically prefixed that content to the mirror name. For instance, when rsyncing, you could have chosen to mirror /all/ of Arctic Network (though they might love you for it). cobbler import --name=prefix --mirror=rsync://rsync.arcticnetwork.ca/centos/5.2/os/x86_64/ In that case, you might end up with distros named "prefix-Centos-5.2-x86_64" and "prefix-CentOS-5.1-x86_64" and .... Thankfully there is an easy command you can use: cobbler distro rename --name=foo --newname=bar Import is there to make your life easier, but isn't expected to exactly know that the prefix you gave was the name of a particular distribution and the URL you gave was specific to one distribution. Of course if you are importing from a DVD source, we can (and do) know exactly what to do. Rsync? You could be pulling in a lot of content, so name is just a prefix. > [...] > ---------------- (adding distros) > - creating new distro: centos-5.2-centos-5.2-x86_64 > - creating new profile: centos-5.2-centos-5.2-x86_64 > - creating new distro: centos-5.2-centos-5.2-xen-x86_64 > - creating new profile: centos-5.2-centos-5.2-xen-x86_64 > [...] > > I prefer "centos-5.2-x86_64" and "centos-5.2-xen-x86_64".
