[Spacewalk-list] kickstarting and registering fedora 13 machines - rhnreg_ks missing?

Hi,

I'm trying to kickstart fedora 13 machines and register them in
spacewalk 1.0. I created a 'default' kickstart.

In the kickstart, it uses wget to fetch just

pyOpenSSL, libxml2-python, rhnlib, pyOpenSSL,


then it gets the RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
and then it calls
rhnreg_ks to do the registration.

This doesn't succeed because rhnreg_ks has not been installed, (since
rhn-setup etc. packages have not been fetched and installed).

The required packages are available from a child channel on my
spacewalk server (taken from fedora 13 everything), and obviously I
can write my own ks script to pull them in, but I would have expected
not to have to do this? Am I doing something wrong, and if not, what's
the best way to update the 'default' kickstart so it pulls the full
set of packages.

Apologies if I've missed the documentation somewhere but I can't find
it, and there isn't a section for Fedora 13 for registering clients.
I'm happy to write it once I get this sorted.

Thanks

A
