Thanks very much! I'll check this over after I finish testing the cloning items. Patch looks fine, though I need to run it through some of the EL/Fedora use cases too for testing. Multi-import is probably not critical if we document the limitation, though if we can get it doing that, it would probably be nice to have. I'm not that worried about it and we can explain that on the Wiki and in the manpage if need be. --Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
