So we used to do this for rhn-setup, but it was causing some issues with dependencies with older versions of RHEL 5.

One of the features that was created after 0.6's release but was backported to 0.6 was the ability to include child channels as repos within a kickstart file. All you need to do is create a child channel and push all the client packages to it (or you could spacewalk-repo-sync the el5 spacewalk repo). Then in your kickstart profile on the "Operating System" tab, simply select that child channel. Then you include "rhn-setup" within your %packages section of your kickstart. The result of this is that all needed client utils are installed before the rhnreg_ks occurs. -Justin > > Randy Rubins > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > Spacewalk-list mailing list > [email protected] > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list -- Justin Sherrill, RHCA 1801 Varsity Drive.
