No. Please don't shout :)
The command works, it's just hard to tell /what/ about that isn't
working for you.
We use import in that way daily here to pull in trees from NFS.
It is easier to say "just use distro add" rather than to debug what may
be different about your paths.
You'll be up in running quicker than you can reply to this email series :)
You can NOT setup a cobbler server and "cobbler import" or
"cobbler
distro add" + "cobbler add profile" a remote distro? What I mean by
remote distro is NFS mounted or available via http.
The kernels and initrds must be local so they can be PXE booted. The
trees do not have to be.
I say this because "cobbler distro add" requires that the
values of
--kernel and --initrd are paths on the local filesystem.
Not local, just on a mounted filesystem.
