This is probably overkill, but as I am trying to install various 'channels' from DVD's I realized that I wanted to remove some DVD's later and trying to track all the data down connected to it wasn't something immediately known. cobbler purge <distro|profile|repo|system> --name=<?> [--force] Would be a way to 'wipe' out data from a system if it is no longer needed (system may be overkill) but would allow for you to something like cobbler purge distro --name=rhel-4.6-as-xen-i386 WARNING: profile UNM-rhel4-xen-base is linked to distro rhel-4.6-as-xen-i386 WARNING: system xxx_unm_edu is linked to UNM-rhel4-xen-base WARNING: system prn_unm_edu is linked to UNM-rhel4-xen-base The user could then move those to other profiles (somehow). And if a --force is done then they all are removed from the system removing all the rpm directories in /var/www/cobbler etc connected to that profile. -- Stephen J Smoogen. -- CSIRT/Linux System Administrator How far that little candle throws his beams!
