Cobbler Version 2.0.9 Cobbler Server Fedora 13
I have setup a Cobber Server with a local F13 repository. I can successfully use PXE to install F13 using a kickstart file. According to the documentation, it appears as though Cobbler will configure the yum repositories on the newly installed system to match the repo's I have locally. I have not been able to get the yum repos configured to my local repos via the PXE/kickstart procedure. The standard F13 repos are defined on the newly built system.
My /etc/cobbler/settings file has the option yum_post_install_mirror: 1 configured.
The kickstart file has the $yum_repo_stanza entry as well.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!

You would need to add those repositories to cobbler. You will then want to add those repositories to your profile. That will ensure that you get the repositories added, assuming you are using the sample_end.ks.
