Looking for some opinions here. I've got SW 1.8 working with RHEL5 now (thank you, J. Pazdziora) and have a kickstart profile uses three channels for initial package installation: core RHEL5 packages (from the ISO), all current RHEL5 updates so when all is said and done, I have a host ready to roll with no need for updates to be applied.
Is this the best way to build a host? I don't have any particular reason for this, but I have a gut feeling that a better way to build a host might be to ONLY use the core RHEL5 ISO packages and the spacewalk-client packages for initial host creation, then register the host with my RHEL5 update channel, and then apply any needed updates (could be done in a %post section). The second option seems 'cleaner' from the stand point of it mimics building a host from an ISO and then applying updates, whereas the first does everything at once. Theoretically the end result should be the same. Thoughts? Thx Chris. -- Chris Snyder SRA Senior Linux Geek Energystar Network O+M Team ESTAR Issues: https://estar18.energystar.gov/
