Thanks, Alan. Given what you have, I'll either try to massage mine into shape or download the DVD images and try again. I built mine by doing:
# cobbler import --name=F17 --path=rsync:// mirror.umd.edu/fedora/linux/releases/17/Fedora/i386/os --name F17 --arch=i386 which has always worked for me in the past. F17 seems to have change the rules, though. Bret On Wed, Aug 15, 2012 at 9:12 AM, Alan Crosswell <[email protected]> wrote: > It just worked for me. I created the distro by importing the DVD ISO.
