(I haven't looked at it for a while and it may be designed for use inside a firewall.

About a year ago I did it for Fedora 8 with cobbler and it was very simple. My recollection was that Cobbler was a superset of setting up a local repo and, given the ease of use, a better solution. I hope to be setting up cobbler on CentOS 5.3 shortly, so that should refresh my memory. -- Sean -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
