I 'm still figuring the space walk out because I also must run Satellite.

How can you get your client to reboot instantly from the Gui?
How do you push RPMS to your client and from your client to the server

I definitely like rhnreg_ks for re-registering a server against its
existing profile, but for initial registration or migration from RHN, I
like bootstrap scripts to ensure that you get the tools installed and osad
running.  But that's just me.  And I'm running Satellite, so I'm never
sure just how closely it matches to spacewalk.

And today I discovered koan, after beating my head against pushed
re-kickstarts failing for some time.  I can launch a reinstall using a
remote command "koan --replace-self;shutdown -r 0" and go to lunch.
