Hi, I was just wondering who would use subprofiles ;-). We have another issue with them, even from the cli.... (see: https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/issues/1030 [2]) But to answer your question: i'm pretty sure there's no such setting to enable the selection of distros from cobbler-web I assume the distro can't be changed because that is fetched from the parent profile. I will take a look...

Hi Wondered if anyone had looked at this bug yet? Reason I want to use sub profiles is we try and keep things simple. So we have a profile called el6. We have one kickstart that caters for all our builds (this harps back to satelite days when we had so many profiles it was a nightmare maintaining it). We then create a sub profile called shop-cent6u5. Within this we have our distro and a ksmeta key build=shop. The ksmeta build selects the build within the single kickstart. So the sub profile allows us to mix and match distros and builds and we have just one master profile and one kickstart file. The sub profile will inherit everything for the master. Master profile el6 will cater for all el6 distros (rh,centos, oracle linux and minor releases within el6; eg update 5).
