It seems you want "cobbler repo add" and not "import", as you're talking more about a noarch repo than an install tree. I don't see how you could get an installable distribution with just noarch packages :) Import is for install trees, which can also be used as repos, yes. But repos are not == install trees. Does that make sense or did I miss something? If you're doing something really simple "cobbler distro add" alone might suffice, though I'd like to understand a little more about the use case to say for sure. --Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
