Re: automate RHN setup

["James S. Martin" <james martin digex com>]

It's actually not a kickstart option, but it is a cmd you can put in 
your %post section.  Sorry I wasn't more clear about it.  I'm trying to 
do this with RH AS 2.1, but it is also available in 8.0.

You can do a man rhnreg_ks in 8.0, or a rhnreg_ks --help in AS2.1(there 
is no man page).

Thanks,

James
