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
