Question about importing a local mirror of CentOS 5 & Fedora 14

[Patrick Lists]

Hi,

I'm new to Cobbler and spend some time reading the wiki before taking 
the plunge. Still have a question: on the soon-to-get-Cobbler box I 
already have a rsync mirror of Fedora 14 and CentOS 5 (i386 & x86_64) in 
/var/www/html/mirror/{fedora,centos} Now how am I supposed to import 
both distro's into Cobbler without duplicating all that data. According 
to the wiki there seem to be various ways of importing:

# cobbler import --path=/var/www/html/mirror/centos/5.5/os/x86_64 \
   --name=CentOS-5.5-x86_64

# cobbler import --path=http://mymirror/centos/5.5/os/x86_64 \
   --name=CentOS-5.5-x86_64

# cobbler import --path=/var/www/html/mirror/centos/5.5/os/x86_64 \
   --name=filer --available-as=http://mymirror/centos/5.5/os/x86_64

Which one should I use (if any)?

Thank and regards,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

this would be the right one for you.

# cobbler import --path=/var/www/html/... --name=<name> --arch=<arch> 
--available-as=http://webserver/...


Regards Dennis

Thank you Dennis. I'll install Cobbler now and will use that command to 
get it all going.
