Thanks for the input. For the time being we have only 2 RHEL 4.8 machines so
we are keeping it on hold. I wonder if we will be able to install the latest
spacewalk client in SLES 11 SP1 because the version of python there is 2.6
on the other hand spacewalk asks for python 2.7

Also for RHEL 5.5 , we have both x86_64 and i386, will I be able to sync
with RHN both of them , specially the updates channel , via mrepo. Currently
I am syncing the x86_64 channel.
