NAME

       Spacewalk Server, Red Hat Satellite or Red Hat Network Classic.

DESCRIPTION

       Server",	 "Red  Hat  Satellite"	or  "Red  Hat  Network Classic". It is
       designed to be used in  a  non-interactive  environment	 (a  kickstart
       style  install,	for example).  All the information can be specified on
       the command line or stdin.
