[Spacewalk-list] centos 6

[Jonathan DeHaan]

My experience has been with Fedora rather than Centos, but I have found 
that I need to include the various rhn packages explicitly in the 
kickstart under Software -> Package Groups. For F11, I include the 
following packages:

dbus-python
perl
python-dmidecode
m2crypto
wget
rhnlib
rhn-check
rhn-setup
rhn-client-tools
yum-rhn-plugin
rhnsd
osad

You might not need to explicitly include all those, but I disable the 
default repos via a pre script to force using Spacewalk only, and I also 
select 'Don't install @Base package group'.

If you don't want to do that, then you could try modifying the comps.xml 
file in your distribution tree to require the rhn-setup packages in the 
Base package group...
