[Spacewalk-list] Can't install post kickstart install

One final question. Now I have the relevant GPG keys, do I put them:

 - in System -> Kickstart -> GPG and SSL keys, then activate them in the
profile   OR
 - in Channels -> Manage Channels -> the Channel in question -> Basic
Channel Details, at the bottom   OR
 - in Channels -> Manage Channels -> Manage Repositories -> Repository in
question.

Or do I put them in all three, or just two. In the third option - the
Repositories - the drop down only allows for the single SSL cert that I
created at the start, none of the GPG keys are available.

Cheers
L.
