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?


Here, e.g.:
http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/centos/5/isos/x86_64/


I need to indicate where "cobbler import" should look, I assume.




Normally, you loopback-mount the DVDs at /mnt/bla
and then you point cobbler at /mnt/bla

But, with the 5.5 release consisting of two DVDs, I'm no longer 100% sure how I imported them.
Best ask on the cobbler-ML...
