Description wes hayutin 2009-06-17 14:50:03 UTC
Description of problem:

6/16 build rhel 5 install

Sounds like we at least *highly recommend* that customers install satellite on the latest supported update level of RHEL.. ie rhel4.8, and rhel5.3 in this case.

Can we add a release note at this point, or update the docs for the next release?

--------Change from -------------------------------
2.1. Software Requirements

To perform an installation, the following software components must be available:

    *

      Base operating system — RHN Satellite is supported with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. The operating system can be installed from disc, local ISO image, kickstart, or any of the methods supported by Red Hat, but must provide the @Base package group, as the RHN Satellite installation program will install the RHN Satellite packages as well as additional Red Hat Enterprise Linux packages not provided in @Base but are needed for RHN Satellite.

      When installing a new RHN Satellite it is highly recommended that the latest supported update to RHEL is installed at @Base.
