Description David Twersky 2019-05-28 20:58:53 UTC
Description of problem:
Cannot run 'dmidecode' in the kickstart installation environment '%pre' section.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
8.0

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a 'dmidecode' command in the %pre section of the kickstart file.

Actual results:
command not found

Expected results:
display output of command

Additional info:
The command seems to not be available inthe installation environment. Worked fine in RHEL 7.x.
I was not able to find any documentation about any removed commands from that environment.

Comment 2 Jiri Konecny 2019-07-18 13:03:28 UTC
Anaconda is not the project who required this command to the installation environment. If this app is required in the installation environment then the templates to create boot.iso should change.
