Hi,
You need to have spacewalk-client and epel repo's as child channels to
your base centos channel, then in kickstart profile you should select
those child channels on "operating system" tab
then this channels will appear in ks file as "repo --name=..." strings,
install of libxml2-python and rhn* packages would succeed and machine
will register itself in spacewalk with selected activation key.
Dunno why this isn't covered in any docs/wiki (or at least i couldn't
find it), had to learn it hard way...

Hi:
I have a few questions about bootstrapping CentOS since the Spacewalk
client tools are not in the main repository.
First, looking at the generated KS file I see the following:
mkdir -p /tmp/rhn_rpms/optional
cd /tmp/rhn_rpms/optional
wget -P /tmp/rhn_rpms/optionalhttp://cm-c1spacewalk01.clairmail.local/download/package/bad5d3d8534cc23e29f0010d4897996b307feae8/0/6/18871/rhnlib-2.5.51-1.el6.noarch.rpm http://cm-c1spacewalk01.clairmail.local/download/package/53912b082ec29a6f8149b971c02a40d948dc9d7e/0/6/15934/pyOpenSSL-0.10-2.el6.x86_64.rpm http://cm-c1spacewalk01.clairmail.local/download/package/25cf8b2d782180362991748a8b292f0980f2acb0/0/6/39145/libxml2-python-2.7.6-8.el6_3.3.x86_64.rpm
I figured this was doing the initial bootstraping, but there are two issues. First the libxml2-python fails to install because libxml2 is also required. Second, the rhnlib package doesn't contain the rhnreg_ks or rhn_register programs.
My first question is, what is the point of installing the above? I looked
through all the /var/lib/cobbler files to see where I can see this snippet so I
could modify to install what is needed, but couldn't find it.
Second question is, does anyone have a link to a document outlining a good way
to bootstrap CentOS images?
Thanks
