Nevermind, found a different solution. Just specifying the networking in kernel options under xenserver and booting a netinstall iso seems to do the job vs rolling a different iso.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Charlie<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>Hi,<br>
at last section "Quick Start Guide for Spacewalk" seems OK.<br>

<br>
</div>If these can be used to install system then they probably<br>
contain vmlinuz+initrd.img (for kickstartable distribution) and<br>
some set of packages (for channel), so it should be enough.<br>

</div>For that, this might be interesting for you:<br>
