Hi,
In an attempt to grab a distro via rsync, I am doing the following
command, substituting the servergoeshere for the real rsync mirror.
The problem is that I have no way to navigate down the tree far enough
to actually make this work, because obviously my browser doesn't allow
this protocol.
cobbler import --mirror=rsync://servergoeshere/path/to/distro
--name=Centos45-64
I visit: http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=13
and pick out a mirror: rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/
but can't seem to give cobbler the proper path to the distro. I
navigated the http dir structure and tried to guess, but no dice.
What do you do when looking for the right path to give cobbler to a
distro in rsync?
Do you use the rsync client? is there a smart and useful command out
there that reveals the right path to a distro on an rsync mirror?

you can usually just FTP to these mirrors and grab the appropriate path
from there. in this case you can actually goto
mirrors.kernel.org/centos via http as well. then drill down to the
branch that you want to sync and you should be able to use that path for
your mirror switch.
