I followed the section in the man page which was entitled "NORMAL WORKFLOW" which seemed to indicate that you should import a local DVD using: cobbler import --mirror=root@localhost:/mnt/dvd --mirror-name=any-name Or that was my interpretation! I will look at the man page more thoroughly and import the DVD using the --path option as you mention above. Thanks for your help.
