Perhaps on that particular page: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/satellite/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite-5.1.0/html/Installation_Guide/s1-requirements-software.html We can replace the note that says: Installing packages other than the packages contained in the @Base package group can lead to package conflicts. With a note that says: Additional packages beyond @Base are required to install Red Hat Network Satellite. The Satellite installer will prompt you to either install the listed packages or ask if you want it to download the files from RHN. If your system is not registered to RHN, you should have the RHEL installation media available during the Satellite installation process to install these additional packages as needed. It seems that updates/rhelrpms in Satellite ISO image is the complete list of packages required other than '@ Base' and installer instructs about the list.
Satellite-iso/install.pl:
# The file updates/rhelrpms contains list of package names
# that Satellite rpms need.
sub get_required_rpms {
my $NEEDRPMS_FILE = 'updates/rhelrpms';
...
return \%needed_rpms;
}
Say it's true, could you please refer to that file in installation guide also?
ex. Also, additional packages required for satellite are listed in the file
"rhelrpms" under updates/ in the Satellite installation ISO image.
I prefer this because I always try to automate satellite installation with kickstart as far as possible.
Okay, have changed the statement to: "Additional packages beyond @Base are required to install Red Hat Network Satellite. The Satellite installer will prompt you to either install the listed packages or ask if you want it to download the files from RHN. If your system is not registered to RHN, you should have the RHEL installation media available during the Satellite installation process to install these additional packages as needed. The files necessary for Satellite installation are listed in the rhelrpms file located in the updates directory on the Satellite installation ISO image." The change (when it is next built tomorrow) can be seen here: http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5.3.0/html/Installation_Guide/ch-requirements.html#s1-requirements-software The content is now in the latest build: http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5.3.0/html/Installation_Guide/ch-requirements.html#s1-requirements-software Looks great!
