Michael,

thx for the info , but i am looking for a training document how to use
spacewalk with cobbler.

it can be for fedora, centos/rhel5 it doesn't matter.
but the document should tell me what to do , so i get a feeling with the
product.

i found a document introducing spacewalk and cobbler version 0.4
which is learning me a lot.
fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/howtokickstartcobbler

but i found also links in the document like spacewalk.redhat.com/yum/0.4
wich are not on the server anymore

so where can i find some examples for centos/rhel5/fedora which i want to
use .

regards rob
