Spacewalk Adventures

This is a chronicle of my adventure setting up a functioning virtual machine (VM) based on Spacewalk to handle all of my system provisioning and package management needs.  The installation notes  https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/UserDocs#Installation while good, do not work for me.  Somewhere in the documentation configuration management (CM) it broke. It is an excellent set of documentation overall.  Murphy happens, let's move on.

Software highlights:
Spacewalk 1.6 http://spacewalk.redhat.com/

PostgreSQL http://www.postgresql.org/

Centos 6.2 http://www.centos.org/

The basic idea is to create this provisioning, package management, and life-cycle deployment 'server' to make my life easier.  Where possible I want everything Open Source.  

I will proceed to post notes on, generally speaking, what 'worked'.  Not what didn't other than as anecdotal information.
