IMHO this was a different issue - you can't register into spacewalk unless you have client packages which are in spacewalk channel which are inaccessible without registration... an instance of classical chicken-egg problem :). % >Andy Speagle ... % I am following this email trail and looked to see what the % bootstrap.sh file contain.
