After much investigation, I decided to install an Ubuntu 12.04 version provided by Dell <http://linux.dell.com/files/ubuntu/precise/12.04-OSP1/>, as indicated here <http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/drivers/DriversDetails?productCode=optiplex-xe2&driverId=WKYKM> (see "Installation Instructions" below). However, I'm unable to import this image to cobbler, no matter how I tried. It seems like this is not a full Ubuntu image, but I was wondering if I could "add the missing pieces" using the working Ubuntu 12.04 image already in our cobbler server without losing the customizations made by Dell. Does this even make sense? Is there any way of importing such an image in Cobbler?

Cobbler only requires distribution kernel, initrd and package repository root directory.
cobbler import is just a wrapper to make distro/profile creation simpler.
You can do it manually, simply create a distro and a profile for your custom Ubuntu 12.04.

Required parameters in distro are name, initrd, kernel and kickstart metadata (tree parameter).
Required parameters in profile are name, distro and kickstart file path.
