Bug 622585

Description of problem:

The Software Requirements section of the 5.3 Installation Guide could be more descript concerning what configuration we expect and support the OS to be in prior to the satellite software installation.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.3


Actual results:

Section 2.1

" 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."

Expected results:


"...provides the @base package group with no other package-set modifications, and with no 3rd party configuration and software not necessary for the direct operation of the server.  This includes hardening or other non-Red Hat security software.  If such software is required in your infrastructure, you must install and verify a complete working Satellite first, and then take a backup, before adding any non-Red Hat software"
