It took about 2 to 3 hours as you said.</div><div> </div><div>One question: If there is no rhel 5 i386 system added to Spacewalk, do the errata for this channel show in Spacewalk's Errata? I don't see them. </div><div> </div><div>Here is what I got from "perldoc eva-direct-errata-sync.pl": "-s satellite.example.org or --sourceserver satellite.example.org. The hostname of the errata source server. This option over rides the ERRATASRC environment variable. If neither this option or the environment variable are specified it defaults to access.redhat.com." So if the default source server is 'rhn.redhat.com', you may update the document. </div><div> Great program.
