I'm moving this over to the anaconda team, which probably
is not correct but I know how else would make the call
on what gets installed and what does not.

Comment 2 Jiri Konecny 2018-12-18 10:41:35 UTC

To make nfs-utils installed they need to be part of the correct comps group. These are part of the repository.

Switching to Release Engineering to fix comps if this package is missing there.

I'm pretty sure nfs-utils is install with the server
or workstation packages since it is needed by both

It is not.  I did a fresh installation of RHEL 7.6 Infrastructure Server and nfs-utils is not included by default.

[root@localhost ~]# 

The same will be true of a minimal install.  The only way it gets installed is either explicitly after the main OS install, or if the user manually selects the proper option in the list before installation begins.

Fair enough....

Is it possible to select "the proper option" in RHEL8? So would 
you know what that option is?

tia!

The file-server or network-file-system-client comps groups.  There is another bug somewhere that pertains to making some of these options more readily accessible in the GUI based installations and I suspect that will make this accessible via the gui in a more noticeable fashion.  As it stands today, the kickstart or yum group installation options are viable at a minimum.
