Hi Chris, there is nothing like public repo (i.e. accessible without previous registration) in spacewalk. % Or... do I have to keep doing a 'yum localinstall rhn-client-tools' to % find out what dependencies I'm missing and grab them manually one at a % time? What a pain in the neck. I started doing this then figured it % might be an exercise of futility on my part. It might be easier to % mirror the repositories locally so I don't have to play the dependency % game... but that would defeat one of the reasons I wanted to use % spacewalk in the first place. As for initial client package installation you can mirror client repo from http://spacewalk.redhat.com/yum/ under your spacewalk:/var/www/html/pub which is publicly accessible via http://spacewalk/pub. And then create /etc/yum.repos.d/spacewalk-client-pub.repo on client [spacewalk-client-pub] name=Spacewalk Client Tools baseurl=http://spacewalk/pub/client/ gpgkey=http://spacewalk.redhat.com/yum/RPM-GPG-KEY-spacewalk-2010 enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 % So if anyone has any tips on an easy way to install the spacewalk % client without an internet connection I'd sure like to hear them. % % Thanks Regards, -- Michael Mráka Satellite Engineering, Red Hat _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
