[Spacewalk-list] New to spacewalk

[Jonathan DeHaan]

Question two: If you are doing it manually, rhn_register is probably 
more useful than rhnreg_ks (the ks stands for kickstart), as it is more 
interactive. I suppose it depends on how many Centos boxes you are 
adding. :-)

I'll leave the channels question those who are running Centos. I've 
seen several different suggested layouts on the list before, you might 
want to check the archives.
