Hello,

I did think the same thing a couple weeks ago. But I did it for the 
provisioning part. The NIM server is a basic tftp, pxe boot server. So 
it must be possible to change this to the spacewalk server.

I will problable look into it, but not in a short time. First we need to 
get the Debian support ready.

Kind regards,
