[Spacewalk-list] How to create kickstart trees

[Bushby, Bruce (London)(c)]

Update:
Reading an old post from Erik van Oudheusden, I tried the following
command:
[root at spacewalk sh]# ./make-ks-tree.sh --channel
centos-5.4-x86_64-server --source
/var/satellite/rhn/kickstart/ks-centos-5.4-x86_64-server --dsn
spacewalk/spacewalk at xe --install-type rhel_5 --variant centos

[root at spacewalk sh]#
 
 
Is that "Can't locate..."   an error or just a notice that can be
ignored?

Hi
 
I'm hoping someone could share some steps to creating centos and fedora
kickstart trees within spacewalk.
 
I've install spacewalk 0.8 on Fedora 12...so far everything looks
perfect.
I created centos and fedora channels and syncd them, I now have:
 
B centos-5.4-x86_64-server
C       centos-5.4-x86_64-centosplus
C       centos-5.4-x86_64-extras
C       centos-5.4-x86_64-updates
 
B fedora-12-x86_64
C       fedora-12-x86_64-updates
 
I then copied the contents of the dvd.iso's into my "kickstart" area:
 
[root at spacewalk kickstart]# ls -l /var/satellite/rhn/kickstart
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 6 apache root 4096 2010-02-18 15:45
ks-centos-5.4-x86_64-server
drwxr-xr-x 2 apache root 4096 2010-02-18 15:12 ks-fedora-12-x86_64
[root at spacewalk kickstart]#

 
So now I need to create the kickstart trees....this is where I'm stuck,
should I use the following scripts?:
add-kstree.pl
make-ks-tree.sh
kickstart-lint.pl
 
 
 
Appreciate any pointers!
