[Spacewalk-list] Kickstart and Config management

[William H. ten Bensel]

Yes, like so:

# below pkg needed for rhn registration
#Some packages provided by spacewalk channel
#Systems -> kickstarts -> profile -> {profile} -> Kickstart Details -> 
Operating System -> Child Channel -> spacewalk channel
rhn-check
rhnsd
rhn-setup
rhn-client-tools
yum-rhn-plugin
libidn
rhncfg
rhncfg-client
rhncfg-actions
pyOpenSSL
libxml2-python
rhnlib
libxml2
perl


and/or if you want to remove items from the default from all kickstarts:
-cpuspeed

Also Note: You can use snippets in the scripts section of the kickstart.
Systems -> kickstarts -> profile -> {profile} -> scripts.   Called the 
same way.   $SNIPPET('spacewalk/1/somescript')

- Thanks and good luck

Note: To prevent updating multiple kickstarts when you need to add/remove 
software to ie: rhn, or base software, you can use snippets in  kickstart 
profile -> Software.  So, if you plan on using the same software across 
multiple kickstarts (ie. The rhn software), you would only have to update 
one file without updating all of the kickstarts.  
ie:
@ Base
$SNIPPET('spacewalk/1/rhnsoftware')  File location: 
(/var/lib/rhn/kickstarts/snipppets/1/rhnsoftware)


The file at  /var/lib/rhn/kickstarts/snipppets/1/rhnsoftware - that's just 
a text file, line delimited?



Cheers
