[Spacewalk-list] Kickstart falling in spacewalk 1.5

[Jonathan DeHaan]

Anaconda ignores the repository metadata that is provided by spacewalk 
for the base channel and only uses the metadata in the distribution 
tree. If you add any packages to the base channel, you have to recreate 
the metadata and put it in the distribution tree, or anaconda won't see it.

After the install, yum correctly pulls metadata for the base channel 
from spacewalk directly.
