[Spacewalk-list] Issues creating a Kickstart Disribution

[Spacewalk User]

Good that you're making progress. I run RHN Satellites, but just
worked through setting up an OEL kickstart, so I may have experience
useful to you. Keep posting to the list with issues. I'm telecommuting
tomorrow, so will be in reach of my Satellites.
