Hi,

Yes, i'm using the manual "distro add" method and never use the Cobbler
distro importers at all. I manually copy the kernel/initrd onto the cobbler
servers, create the distro and corresponding profiles. In my experience the
kernel and initrd are all that's really needed. All our repo' s are hosted
on a (non-Cobbler) separate server, so we refer to that in the
kickstart/preseeds/autoyast files. So, basically we use Cobbler only to
manage the pxeboot, kickstart templating and iso building features.
