Hello everyone!
I have been tasked with replacing our current fedora repo mirror / PXE
boot / DHCPd / tftpd setup with a cobbler setup, only wrench in the
plan is keeping our current fedora repo (not replicating / replacing
with cobbler).
So, is it possible to have cobbler look at 'non cobbler' repository to
install from instead of importing / creating a repo / distro etc..
within cobbler?

Example of not mirroring an external distro tree:
cobbler distro add --name=foo --initrd=/path/to/initrd.img
--kernel=/path/to/vmlinuz
# and make sure your kickstart file has a good "url" line in it
OR:
cobbler import --name=whatever --path=/mnt/mytrees
--mirror-locally=nfs://server:/mytrees/
Example of just referencing an external repo:
cobbler repo add --name=epel4i386 --mirror-locally=N
--path=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/testing/4/i386/
cobbler repo add --name=mirror2
--path=http://somerepo-i-really-do-want-to-mirror/path/
cobbler profile edit --name=bar --repos="epel4i386 mirror2"
Now the profile will have all of those repos available for kickstart,
and if yum_post_install_mirror is enabled in /etc/cobbler/settings, the
installed systems will know about the above in their installed
/etc/yum.repos.d also
Hopefully that answers the question?
