(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.
