Just use the mini-iso's (current signature file doesn't work with them though). The current ubuntu cobbler package has a handy tool for pulling the iso and importing a (ubuntu) distro/profile using it, wonder if it would be useful to upstream as well.. after making it at least a bit less distro-specific. > BTW, of the Debian/Ubuntu section of this file: > https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/blob/master/config/import_rsync_whitelist, > the sub-section about netboot is no longer applicable since Canonical > has decided to provide the netboot images separately, outside of its > offical repository hierarchy. Care to explain a bit more? AFAICT the netboot images are exactly where they used to be. t _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
