Re: [cobbler] How to avoid rsync at importing time to save "import time" ??

[Ravi A]

James, I read the manual about --available-as option ("Importing Trees"
heading). I think it will be good to readers if following "Example 6" is also
included/considered. What is your opinion?

Example6:  cobbler import --path=/path/where/filer/is/mounted --name=anyname
--available-as=http://aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd/where/mounted/

Thank you,
Ravi

The source code for the web pages and manuals are all on github, and I'm
always willing to accept patches :)
