Re: How To Install Fedora 11 Using Cobbler and PXE Boot
Okay, thanks. No I am not following the Fedora Installation Guide in
order to set up cobbler -- although it might be a good idea to have a
chapter on cobbler in that guide.
Good idea -- perhaps someone would like to see about getting that added?
I mentioned the guide to explain why I
mounted the DVD on the web server's document root. I simply picked that
mount point, /var/www/html/fedorainstall because it is a habitual mount
point I use and the cobbler instructions didn't specify a mount point
for the `cobbler import --path[...] action.
You might want to take a look at this web page I put up that shows more
detail about what I am seeing over here and what the log messages are
saying. Like you say, I am pretty sure that the cobbler import statement
worked properly.

Many thanks and I apologise if I'm confusing you and others.
No problem.
Yeah, I think you are trying to hard with the "document root" stuff --
it's an unneeded step. The mount point is temporary, there is no point
in mounting it to your document root as cobbler will put that data there
anyway and you don't want to have to leave the ISOs mounted (loopback or
otherwise).
There is no error in anything that you posted.
You should see output from "cobbler list" that shows some objects were
created by Cobbler, and you can then unmount the ISOs as you will no
longer need them (again, import makes
a copy into /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror for you).
Does that answer the question or am I missing something?
