[Spacewalk-list] Support for Fedora 18 clients using Spacewalk 1.8?

[Jon Miller]

I'm hoping by attaching some extra KS logs, captured during a kickstart,
that someone would be able to notice something about not being able to use
the "rhnlib" and "spacewalk-koan" RPMs.

Any ideas or suggests are appreciated.

Thanks,
Jon Miller
