After installing and configuring a Spacewalk server, I removed the rhel-instnum package. The Spacewalk server seems to work correctly even if this package is not present. Do you know what should break once the rhel-instnum package is removed? Maybe this question should be asked directly to the spacewalk list?

I guess all other "external" repos have at least some "personal experience" blurb around it, so yes, I'd also expect that here.

Or in the Laptop section? :) I'd say: If it adds to the general Mac section (meaning other Mac users will also be able to take advantage of that), it should be added to the MacTel section.

Not very "enterprise", but still... :) Tsk :) Package it and inject it into one of the third party repos, I'd say!

That a) doesn't have to do anything with the installer not having reverse DNS capability (it does not need to) and b) a host name like above works just fine. > * Give an absolute ip address of server found by traceroute command. Not needed. And not all mirrors work that way. >h. At "System to Upgrade", choose "Reinstall System" Ummm. That only happens when you already have a system on there.
