Hi, you are misunderstanding the fole of the function.
list_distro_pools() returns a hash with primary key being all distributions that are configured to be supported in /tftpboot/distro. That means: If a user wants to support centos-5-x86_64 (master+clients) and centos-5-i386 (some clients), he should first make sure that yume has access to the corresponding distribution packages by: - copying all distro packages for centos-5-x86_64 to /tftpboot/distro/centos-5-x86_64/ - copying all distro packages for centos-5-i386 to /tftpboot/distro/centos-5-i386/ - creating /tftpboot/distro/centos-5-i386.url with the content: file:/tftpboot/distro/centos-5-i386 - creating /tftpboot/distro/centos-5-x86_64.url with the content: file:/tftpboot/distro/centos-5-x86_64 - alternatively: instead of copying in the distro packages one can add to the .url files the URLs to base and updates repositories prefered. The approach with local distro files is allways working, and the repository is visible from clients in a non-routed cluster, too. The other approach only works if we configure a proxy on the master and point all clients to it, or if the clients have direct access to the outer world. This means: a distro which a master can support must have a configured distro repository.
