[Spacewalk-list] Need help with registration problems.

Thu Jan 31 18:33:49 UTC 2013

well actually the best thing to do is to include the @spacewalk-client
package group in your kick start
this will ensure that every thing you need.
also keep in mind you will have to include the spacewalk client
channel for the distro
once that package group installs you should be good.
