[Spacewalk-list] Anyone using distribution mapping for custom channels?

[Judd]

Waldirio,

Thank you for that info. I already have custom channels, that part's
done. I'm trying to map the channels so that the activationkeys set to
'spacewalk-default' assigns the machine to the correct custom base channel.
