[Spacewalk-list] automatic registration w/ spacewalk after kickstart

[Craig Pendleton]

This is sloppy at best, but it works for us.  This is based on a script I
found somewhere (on SW wiki, or elsewhere).  I would like to attribute it to
the original author, but don't know the source.  We use this for throw-away
test systems, so keep in mind that security is a non-issue for our needs
here (hence the "rpm -Uvh --nosignature").  There is probably a far better
way to do this with yum - would love to hear about it if so.

I have this in my kickstart postinstall script:

# Spacewalk post script

cd /tmp

# Install keys
# Spacewalk
# Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL)
wget http://spacewalk.redhat.com/yum/RPM-GPG-KEY-spacewalk
wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora-epel/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL

rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-spacewalk
rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL
