I have setup a Fedora 13 minimum install inside of a VirtualBox VM, and am following this tutorial to setup Cobbler:

PXE virtual network with Virtualbox and Cobbler

When I go to run the initial cobbler sync the command seems hang. How long should it take to run this command? Since I did a minimum install of Fedora 13 am I missing a application that would prevent cobbler from executing the sync properly?

Many of the sync commands in cobbler run an rsync to download the latest RPMS from the site you indicated. If it's a lot and you said "mirror locally" this can take hours.

Just to be sure: check if rsync is running in the background and downloading stuff.

You mean "cobbler reposync" which can take a long time. "cobbler sync" should finish within minutes, it adjusts links, creates the boot menu etc. – AndreasM Mar 16 '11 at 13:12
