[Spacewalk-list] Kickstart Template Issues

[Colin Coe]

Historically, I see this when I comment out some shell script, like:

#if sometest

The fix to the above is to a space between the hash and 'if' like below:

# if sometest



I couldn't see anything obvious so I created a new kickstart profile on my
Satellite v5.8 system using your post script.  There were no templating
errors.

Sorry, I know this isn't that helpful...
