[Spacewalk-list] question about centos4 and 5 as clients

[Bob Huisman]

Hi,

I remember missing rhel-instnum as well as these:

rhn-check
rhn-client-tools
rhnlib
rhn-setup
rhn-setup-gnome

I had to build them from the git repo (you will need gcc and rpm-build).
Once you got those, you can successfully kickstart a system from your
Spacewalk server.

yum-rhn-plugin and rhnsd are in the fedora client repo on
spacewalk.redhat.com

Good luck,

Bob

Well CentOS 5 would be very nice to deploy :) CentOS 4 and 3 is nice for
the future ;)
