<div class="yiv139217970MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;"> When I click on the link, the browser takes me to the repodata sub-directory. When I tried backing up a couple of levels, I never saw any RPMs.

<div class="yiv139217970MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;">Can I assume that you want to connect to RHN and download all of the available RPMS and populate your Spacewalk repository? If so, you’ll have to download and
install a utility called mrepo because Spacewalk doesn’t have the ability to connect directly to the RHN servers.

<div class="yiv139217970MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;">Also, must also have a valid RHN userid and password for mrepo to connect.

If it's not the right one, where can I find it?<br>
