If I have an existing Cobbler server all set up, is there an easy

aspects from it to a freshly created unit?
Could I just copy /etc/cobbler, /var/www/cobbler, and
/var/lib/cobbler to the new machine and then do cobbler sync?
That might work, but you will likely run into problems. The correct way
to do it is to use 'cobbler replicate --master'. Generally you would
want to setup the cobbler settings file, start up cobblerd and then do
that. This is the way I do it, and it allows you to do all kinds of fun
things with selecting what you want brought down.
