Using --available-as with the newer version ensures that it only copies over files essential for creating the distro - typically less than 100MB. My question is (and maybe I missed this too), why are you using --available-as? Why not just have cobbler host the files instead of copying them somewhere else and having cobbler reference them? The use of --available-as is recommended only when you do not want to host the files yourself (installing from a public mirror as I showed previously) or for when you've already got all of the files somewhere else and don't want to duplicate them.
