importing distro - error ?

[Tom Brown]

Firstly this is on a new setup so i dont actually know if this is an 
error as such yet but when in import a RHEL4 into cobbler thats running 
on Fedora 9 i get the following

---------------- (associating kickstarts)
- using default kickstart file choice
- using default kickstart file choice
---------------- (syncing)
Could not find files matching /usr/share/syslinux/pxelinux.0

does this look like an issue ?

cobbler-1.2.8-1.fc9.noarch

thanks

Do you have syslinux installed?

rpm -qa |grep syslinux

Yeah, the reason for that is somewhat complicated.  

Technically one should be able to install cobbler on ia64 -- whether 
anyone does, I don't know -- but there's no syslinux package available 
there.

So, we just have "cobbler check" look for it.

Either way, "cobbler check" should alert you to missing packages -- if 
it does not -- that's a bug.

I'd do architecture-dependent-dependencies to slurp it in when possible 
but noarch RPMs don't allow for that if I recall correctly.
