Ok, I did my own local repo containing cfengine-community package and added it to my cobbler profile . the thing that I was missing is that I added the installation of cfengine-community package in %package section of the kickstart template for that profile, and it kept telling me that cfengine-community package installation was skiped because not present ! then I realised that it needed to be put in post install snippet, when my local repository could finally be known by the installed system . now it works fine . > After the package is installed you need a snippet to have it > bootstrap.

I can check if you need. since 3.2.0 there's no need to copy failsafe or update cf file, cf footnote at http://blog.normation.com/en/2012/01/03/interactive-key-exchange-with-cfe... <http://blog.normation.com/en/2012/01/03/interactive-key-exchange-with-cfe... "Since the *version 3.2.0*, if you are willing to automatically accept keys from the clients on the servers, you don’t need to copy any promises on the client, the bootstrap procedure from the Nova <http://cfengine.com/pages/nova> edition has been backported in the community edition; and it uses its own embedded promises" I documented my own way to do it at: http://www-public.it-sudparis.eu/~procacci/dok/doku.php?id=docpublic:syst... <http://www-public.it-sudparis.eu/%7Eprocacci/dok/doku.php?id=docpublic:sy...
