Hi Todd
1. Go to snippets and create a new one with the name SNIPPET-TEST. Enter :
%post
#raw
echo "This is a SNIPPET-TEST" >> /root/SNIPPET1
#endraw
Press the OK/Apply Button at the lower right site.
2. Now you should have a snippet-macro which should look like :
$SNIPPET('spacewalk/1/SNIPPET-TEST')
3. create or use an existing KS-profile.
Go to : kickstart -> kickstart details -> enhanced options and enter the
snippet-macro name into the field : options (the last one)
$SNIPPET('spacewalk/1/SNIPPET-TEST')
4. click on the button : update kickstart
5. kickstart from your profile... that's it.
good luck

Betreff: Re: [Spacewalk-list] Contents, Vol 52, Issue 40 digest - 2 snippets?
In reply to message two, i've tried many times but can't seem to get snippets
working. I create snippet, then create post file and check template, and paste
my snippet line in the post section. I have tried putting # end /#endraw in the
post script around the snippet, in the snippet itself,etc.. but nothing seems
to work. Can anyone provide better simple how to create snippet? The docs are
really lacking/
Thanks,

Hi Thomas
I've got the same experiance. Heres my workarround:
In my case, I had to enter a proxy into yum.conf
SNIPPET-1:
%post
#raw
if [ -e /etc/yum.conf ]; then
echo "proxy=http://1.1.1.1:8080"; >> /etc/yum.conf
fi
#endraw
Then, I was able to use a "foreign" Spacewalk-Repo, again with a second SNIPPET:
%post
#raw
rpm --import http://spacewalk.local/pub/RPM-GPG-KEY-spacewalk-2012
rpm -ivh http:// spacewalk.local /pub/python-hwdata.el6.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh http:// spacewalk.local /pub/spacewalk-client-repo.rpm
rpm -ivh http:// spacewalk.local /pub/rhn-org-trusted-ssl-cert-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
yum install -y rhn-check.noarch rhn-setup.noarch rhncfg-client.noarch
rhn-client-tools.noarch rhnsd rhncfg rhn-client-tools
#endraw

Betreff: [Spacewalk-list] spacewalk 1.7 provisioning centos 6.3
Hello,
while configuring spacewalk 1.7 on centos 6.3 a problem occurred at centos 6.3
provisioning. I guess it is caused by the generated kickstart config and the
ongoing installation procedure that relies on up2date which is not shipped with
centos 6.3 anymore.
Setup:
Spacewalk Server
Centos 6.3 x64 minimal
Spacewalk 1.7 postgreSQL
We Configured Spacewalk 1.7 and created a Software Channel, added a Repo and
created a kickstart profile which is published via http.
Our client machine initiates the installation over PXE-boot and retrieves the
Centos6.3 base install image from cobbler. The automatic generated kickstart
file does not work with centos 6.3 even though we selected the correct
distribution.
Are there know issues/incompatibilities with centos 6.3? does anyone know when
6.3 will be fully supported or how to fix the described issue?
There the paste of the automatic generated spacewalk kickstart config:
# Kickstart config file generated by Spacewalk Config Management
# Profile Label : Centos6_x64-test
# Date Created : Thu Sep 20 17:21:13 CEST 2012
