There are some places though (koan, templates, etc) that assume some relative http structure exists -- so I'd caution against moving the web dir. A better question would be, why do you want to move the webdir?

If it is to conserve space, you can use "--available-as" on the cobbler import to specify that the URLs you import are available externally and do not need to be mirrored.

Another option would be to make /var/www/cobbler (or even /var/www) a symlink to a directory on another partition/volume

It was disk space related--I have access to much more disk space if I use a partition other than /var, so creating the /var/www/cobbler symlink is a good option for me.

Syntax for changing what template a profile uses:

cobbler profile edit --name=foo --kickstart=/opt/special/mykickstarts/x.ks # etc

Excellent. I wanted to continue to make use of our existing kickstart config file generator script and provide cobbler with access those ks.cfg files, so that takes care of that. I guess I mistakenly thought that cobbler was going to look for them in /etc/cobbler instead of whereever I specified them.

Hopefully that makes sense, if not, maybe you can elaborate a bit on why you wanted to move things around?

It makes perfect sense. I've gone back to the standard RPM and implemented your suggestions.
