Here's a sample output from https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/software/channel/downloads/Download.do?cid=8742:

View Base Channel Content ISOs for Satellite
RHEL 3 AS/ES/WS/Desktop (i386) + Cluster + Devsuite + Extras + rhn-tools (Base 2007-03-24)
RHEL 3 AS (ppc) + Extras (Base 2007-03-25)
RHEL 3 AS (s390) + Extras (Base 2007-03-27)
RHEL 4 AS/ES/WS/Desktop (amd64) + Extras + rhn-tools (Base 2009-06-11)
RHEL 4 AS/ES/WS/Desktop (i386) + Extras + rhn-tools (Base 2009-06-11)
RHEL 5 Client/Server (i386) + rhn-tools + vt + cluster + supplementary + workstation (Base 2009-03-09)
RHEL 4 AS/ES/WS (ia64) + Extras + rhn-tools (Base 2009-06-12)
RHEL 5 Server (ia64) + vt + cluster + supplementary (Base 2009-03-09)
RHEL 4 AS (ppc) + Extras (Base 2009-06-12)
RHEL 5 Server (ppc) + vt + supplementary (Base 2009-03-09)
RHEL 4 AS (s390/s390x) + Extras (Base 2009-06-12)
RHEL 5 Server (s390x)+ tools + supplementary (Base 2009-03-09)
RHEL 5 Client/Server (x86_64) + rhn-tools + vt + cluster + supplementary + workstation (Base 2009-03-09)
RHN Proxy for RHEL 3/4 AS and RHEL 5 Client/Server(i386) (Base 2009-03-09)
RHN Proxy for RHEL 3/4 AS and RHEL 5 Client/Server(i386) (Base 2009-06-12)

Note the ones that says "2009-03-09", so all of these need to be refreshed...  For the customer that reported the issue, the one they need for sure is "RHEL 5 Client/Server (i386) + rhn-tools + vt + cluster + supplementary + workstation".

Comment 5 Milan Zázrivec 2010-06-22 08:41:40 UTC
New channel dump isos in DVD format are now available for download.

A new automated infrastructure for dump creation has been setup to:
* create base dumps whenever a new major/minor RHEL release is out
* create incremental dumps for all supported RHELs every two weeks
* create all dump isos in DVD format from now on
