Yes, 'make webtest' will update everything while saving your config and everything in /var/lib/cobbler/config. Occasionally, a glitch can occur in the make process and you can lose config and data that way, so it's a good idea if you've got a lot of stuff entered you want to save to periodically backup your /var/lib/cobbler and /var/www/cobbler directories. _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
