(I tried downloading the DVD ISO with ktorrent, but this was a complete failure. It started OK, but then created literally thousands of links to one file, which brought my server down, and left it in a state which was quite hard to clean up.)
Dunno. Last time I brought down the DVD iso, I had no trouble just doing a straight d/l, no torrent.
Where did you find the DVD ISO? When I follow the download instructions at http://www.centos.org/ I am only offered "local", ie west european, mirrors, and none of those I looked at had the DVD ISO; all of them just had 8 CD ISOs.
You could try your local mirror ;-)
ftp.heanet.ie:/pub/centos/5.5/isos/i386/CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-DVD.iso
or ftp.heanet.ie:/pub/centos/5.5/isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2.iso and ftp.heanet.ie:/pub/centos/5.5/isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-2of2.iso

Mount the CD isos using loopback (mount -o loop), and copy.

I didn't follow this. Do you mean mount each of the 8 CDs using loopback? And what exactly am I meant to copy?
I need to indicate where "cobbler import" should look, I assume.
