[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk for Novell SLES

[Pietro Leone]

Absolutely yes, sorry for the delay, I'm still working on the client, 
but following the detailed instruction of Sabine I created the channels 
for SLES and now they are synced. For now I cannot confirm the problems 
she had on SP1, but we have a lot of SLES still SP1, so I hope I can 
give more info quickly.

Thanks, Pietro.

With four ways out and no way in
But mine the glory, mine the power
(So I chose AmigaOS, GNU/Linux and OpenBSD)
