Hi Jeremy,
Thank you for your reply. Since we have not yet set Kickstart on the Spacewalk
server, the method you suggested doesn't work here.

Subject: Re: [Spacewalk-list] How to set Spacewalk server as yum server
Hello,
Why not use the same urls that are used for the kickstart configuration. There
are URLs that you can use as baseurls for a yum configuration. I am currently
using them in my environment for servers that are unable to join Spacewalk for
what ever reason. Works really well and doesn't require any management or any
additional commands other than updating the distro trees when a new version is
released (CentOS Major versions like 5.7 to 5.8). All packages that are
available from Spacewalk are available to these URLs without any other need for
external applications to update.
