Anaconda needs to provide this. Hi Brian, We don't want to provide this package because live installations are not supported on RHEL. By removing the package we are strongly teling users that we don't support this scenario. Could you please remove this dependency from the templates instead? This is a pretty big change from previous behavior. While we've never officially supported live images, we have made it possible for users to make their own . Removing this makes that impossible since it's not just a matter of a few required packages, the liveinst script is also missing. If this isn't going to be shipped then the rhel-livemedia.ks in lorax needs to drop Anaconda and just be a live desktop image. qa_ack+ to remove anaconda from rhel-livemedia.ks It should be mentioned, that although the liveinst script was part of RHEL-8.2, it wasn't possible to run an installation from live media, see for example bug 1665473. So do I understand the outcome of the discussion here... that install from live media via anaconda is going to be removed and no longer possible... and that live media is possible, just not installable live media? Or it is going to be fixed so we can have live installable media? Installation from live media was not a supported feature and it was broken at least in RHEL-8.2. So yes, it will be possible to build live media, but not installing them. Yeah, I was hoping to get it fixed but where you could install from live media. Where do I send the bribery money? Scott, feel free to report a new bug to support installations from live media.
