Over here we do not use cobblers sync-features. Instead all distros directories are offered to the cobbler-slaves via rsync and can selec- tively be fetched. Then the directory is manually made known to the cobbler-slave as distro/profile/repo in pasting some cobbler-commands out of a wiki into the slaves terminal. One could then also in these commands source a text-file on that slave that contains some slave- specific ksmetas. Should also work that everything including the profiles gets synced to the slaves and just then a local-only profile is copied from the provided one, additionally setting ksmeta from the textfile. > Goes back to my original question, is there another method to do it > without creating separate slave profiles?
