Indeed.   Import operates on DVD ISO's or rsync mirrors of 
distributions, such as the kind you typically find on kernel.org.   Read 
the manpage and the Wiki for more documentation and examples of what 
this is intended to do.

Additionally, it only supports RHEL, CentOS, and Fedora imports.    For 
other Linux support, use "cobbler distro add", not import, patches  are 
always welcome to add import for other distros.
