Please don't shout :)
Sorry for shouting.
I'm just frustrated. Love cobbler, but this issue is just driving me nuts. ;-0

It's not a matter of getting things working - I can get things
working
with local distros, no problem.
This issue is I'm trying to get this to work from a remote location
that contains distros.
Having everything local on my cobbler server is not at option at this point.
We use import in that way daily here to pull in trees from NFS.
So I'm assuming you can do the same using HTTP?
The kernels and initrds must be local so they can be PXE booted.
The
trees do not have to be.
Ah! Ha! (ok I said I wouldn't shout, but I can still get excited)
So you don't consider kernel and initrd as part of a Distribution?
So I can not setup a cobbler server and have kernels and initrds remote?
Correct?
The command works, it's just hard to tell /what/ about that
isn't working for you.
I think it's that I don't have the kernel and initrd local.
I was assuming --available-as= would deal with finding their location.
I guess my final question would be:
What absolutely needs to reside locally on the cobbler server, and
what can be remote?
