Personally, I think cobbler overkill if all you want to do is have a local copy of the CentOS repo for updates and occasional installations. I just mirror the os/ and updates/ trees (about 20G for CentOS 5.4). I point lighttpd at the root of the mirror tree, enable directory listings, and push a standard CentOS-Base.repo file that points to the local mirror to all my CentOS machines. -- Paul Heinlein <> heinlein at madboa.com <> www.madboa.com
