[Spacewalk-list] Initial load of Red Hat channel...?

[Colin Coe]

My understanding is that satellite-sync does not work with Sapcewalk
but I'm not 100% on that.

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/ is the location for
EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux), not for RHEL.

a minute or two after clicking sync repo, do a 'ps -ef | grep sync' to
see if you have any spacewalk-repo-sync processes running.  I think
the logs are under /var/satellite/sync_repo or something similar.

I ended up using mrepo to do this but I was less than happy with it.
