Thank you. I definitely had an issue with duplicate files but after a little troubleshooting the duplicate files were from channels I had deleted. Once I used "Manage Packages" to delete all the orphans, then synced everything from scratch to defined repositories the deduplication you are talking about started working.

But essentially it will dedup itself. -- Sent from my HP Pre3 ________________________________ On Feb 1, 2013 12:01 PM, Paul Brunck <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: In order to use kickstart it is recommended that you use a child channel that has tools for kickstart. Suppose you put the RPMs from an install dvd in a repository under Manage Repositories and the spacewalk client tools under a 2nd repository. Then in channels you make a parent channel that includes the rpms from the dvd and a child channel that includes the rpms from both the dvd and the Spacewalk client tools. Does this mean that you will end up with 2 copies of every rpm under /var/satellite/redhat from the install dvd and thereby waste 3-4GB of space? Paul Brunck Health Language, Inc.
