Hi:
I am hoping that someone can help me.
I recently started using cobbler and find it really, really useful but I have a problem.
I am using cobbler to PXE provision Xen dom0 servers in my lab. These dom0 machines are NOT connected to the internet and the automated process fails. The reason that fails appears to be because the /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS*.repo files exist with references to external web addresses which confuses the kickstart.
I have created a complete set of repos locally using "cobbler repo add", "cobbler reposync" and "cobbler profile edit--name=<name> --repos="<repo1> <repo2> ... <repon>". I have verified that they show up on the PXE configured machines. I have also verified that they work properly by manually interrupting the boot process, logging in, removing the /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS*.repo files and then running the updates myself.
I am currently experimenting with removing those files in the kickstart but I was hoping that there was a more elegant solution. I would like to tell cobbler not to install the default CentOS-Base.repo and CentOS-Media.repo for a specific system or profile.
Thank you,
Joe
