thanks - i will bear this in mind - for this scenario i just added that 
rpm to a current repo - ram createrepo on it and then cobbler reposync 
and thats now available in the repo cobbler is aware of. I will add and 
remove rpm's from existing repo's quite a lot so creating a repo each 
time would be a bit of a pain to manage.

thanks
