Those .rpm files that aren't RPM files contain the following
----
<p>The file you requested could not be downloaded, likely due to one
of the foll owing reasons:</p>
<ol>
<li>The url has expired.</li>
<li>The url has been modified.</li>
<li>The Spacewalk server does not have read permissions on the
specified f ile.</li>
</ol>
<p>Please revisit the page you recieved this url from to recieve a new one.</p>
----
The way I handle this is to have a kickstart profile and activation
key called make_sat_client_el5s for example where el5s is RHEL5
Server. I then have a script stored centrally that all nodes can see
called 'make_sat_client' which determines which kickstart profile to
use, downloads said kickstart file, hacks out the 'interesting bits'
of the kickstart and the runs the result.
You could do something similar.
If you want I can post these to the list on Monday.
