I may be being dim here, but given you can access child channels when you
kickstart, why can't you get the spacewalk client packages from there?

So in my kickstart I have a repo line like this:

repo --name=centos-5.5-64bit-spacewalk-client --baseurl=http://swserver.mydomain/ks/dist/child/centos-5.5-64bit-spacewalk-client/centos-5.5-64bit

Can't I just use that as the local yum repo before registration?
