Most of our machines are debian/ubuntu, so that was the second step.
The manpage states "limited experimental support" for debian/suse but
for your comments I understand that it works right. The "distro add"
arguments resembles those for a syslinux/pxeboot. Is it posible also
to import debian packages, manage debian repos and so on?

Yes, `make install` did work with just a couple of easy requirements.
But locates some files (apache config for example) in places where
debian does not look for them. It also requires rhpl (easy but not
available as official debian package), and other things to come ....
Although I'll probably setup a fedora box, I'll keep trying to install
& run cobbler from a debian system. If you think it might be valuable,
I'll keep you/the list informed about the (expected) progress.
