One thing I do commonly is to move the /var/www/cobbler directory to /opt (where I dump free space) and symlink it back: $ mv /var/www/cobbler /opt/ $ ln -s /opt/cobbler /var/www/cobbler Make sure httpd/cobblerd are stopped before doing that. This section of the manual covers that: http://cobbler.github.com/manuals/2.2.3/3/5_-_Relocating_Your_Installation.html _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
