Yes, this was changed because of the way the import modules work. It's a chicken and egg problem, because the rsync now has to happen before the scan can be executed to figure out what the breed is. One of the things I plan to tweak is to provide a list of files for rsync to grab instead of the entire tree, so that it only grabs stuff like the kernel/initrd/etc. _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
