Hi Michael, I went with the repo mirroring route: [root@hemops2 ~]# cobbler import --name=centos-4.4 --mirror=rsync://rsync.mirrorservice.org/mirror.centos.org/4.4/os/i386/CentOS/ This went fine. Adding the distro, however, gives me some trouble: [root@hemops2 ~]# cobbler distro add --name=centos4.4 --kernel=/var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/centos-4.4-i386/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz --initrd=/var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/centos-4.4-i386/images/pxeboot/initrd.img Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/cobbler/cobbler.py", line 505, in main BootCLI(sys.argv).run() File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/cobbler/cobbler.py", line 102, in run self.curry_args(self.args[1:], self.commands['toplevel']) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/cobbler/cobbler.py", line 421, in curry_args commands[args[0]](args[1:]) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/cobbler/cobbler.py", line 469, in distro return self.curry_args(args, self.commands['distro']) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/cobbler/cobbler.py", line 421, in curry_args commands[args[0]](args[1:]) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/cobbler/cobbler.py", line 386, in distro_edit return self.apply_args(args,commands,on_ok) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/cobbler/cobbler.py", line 409, in apply_args on_ok() File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/cobbler/cobbler.py", line 385, in <lambda> on_ok = lambda: self.api.distros().add(distro, with_copy=self.api.sync_flag) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/cobbler/collection.py", line 97, in add lite_sync.add_single_distro(ref.name) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/cobbler/action_litesync.py", line 60, in add_single_distro self.sync.write_distro_file(distro) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/cobbler/action_sync.py", line 733, in write_distro_file clone.kernel_options = self.hash_to_string(clone.kernel_options) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/cobbler/action_sync.py", line 885, in hash_to_string buffer = buffer + key + "=" + value + " " TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'int' objects I'm not sure what to make of the above.
