Felt like the "cobbler import" should take the breed option, but it was rejected
so I tried, an import without it:

     sudo cobbler import --mirror=/mnt/iso1 --name=ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386

Things started flying by on the screen.  So far so good then:

sent 728274605 bytes  received 13682 bytes  5757219.66 bytes/sec
total size is 728143597  speedup is 1.00
---------------- (adding distros)
- following symlink: /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386/ubuntu
- following symlink:

- following symlink:
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu

... longer and longer symlinks follow.

Uh. Oh.  We are chasing our tail!!!!

Untill  we crash

- creating new distro:
