This issue is I'm trying to get this to work from a remote location that contains distros. Having everything local on my cobbler server is not at option at this point. >We use import in that way daily here to pull in trees from NFS.

(ok I said I wouldn't shout, but I can still get excited) So you don't consider kernel and initrd as part of a Distribution? So I can not setup a cobbler server and have kernels and initrds remote? Correct? > The command works, it's just hard to tell /what/ about that isn't working for > you. I think it's that I don't have the kernel and initrd local. I was assuming --available-as= would deal with finding their location. I guess my final question would be: What absolutely needs to reside locally on the cobbler server, and what can be remote?
