You're going to need the ISO anyway for an import, so doing it manually won't buy you anything. There are a lot of files required outside of the packages in the repo. But, for the record, import is basically a wrapper around the following steps: cobbler distro add cobbler profile add cobbler repo add All of which might add more than one object. _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
