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

[Leonard Smith]

For those interested and for the short term I put the RPMS  (src and
binary) that I used on centos 5.x up at
http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lrsmith/Spacewalk/

I am running spacewalk on a stock CentOS 5.x server and connecting
using Centos 5.x clients.

The part that I was missing initially is that
rhel-instnum-1.0.7-1.noarch.rpm needs to be installed on the Spacewalk
server.
Also I had trouble with the 0.4.17-8 versiona, but the 0.4.16-2.9 worked fine.
