Bug 742347

In Procedure 3.3 from the install guide, we walk them through creating an answers file to use with rhui-installer.  The output of that command is the creation of configuration rpm's that need to be installed on the RHUA and other configuration rpm's that need to be installed on the CDS's.

These rpm's will be in the destination directory they specified in step 3b.  The one that needs to be installed on the rhua will match the name and version they specified in steps 4a and 3a respectively.  So, if they use the example values show in the installation guide, the rpm generated will be /tmp/rhui/rh-rhua-config-2.0-2.el6.noarch.rpm

In a new step 7 in the procedure we need to tell them to install this rpm on the RHUA.

Likewise, the command will generate rpm's for each CDS they have configured in the answers file.  We need to tell them to copy these generated rpm's over to the correct CDS and install the rpm.  Again, if they use the example values, /tmp/rhui/rh-cds1-config-2.0-2.el6.noarch.rpm would have been generated.  We need to tell them to copy that rpm over to the CDS defined by the hostname in the [cds-1] section in the answers file and install it.

	<para>
		To execute the file and create the configuration RPMs, run the <command>rhui-installer</command> command:

<screen>
$ rhui-installer <replaceable>/etc/rhui/myanswersfile</replaceable>
</screen>
	 <para>
		The configuration RPMs will be saved to the location you specified in <xref linkend="step-Installation_Guide-dest-dir" />. There will be a configuration RPM for both the RHUA and the CDS instances, using the names you gave for each.

Under "Procedure 3.3. Editing the Answers File" ==> under steps 6 & 7.

The command should be "rpm -Uvh" instead of "rpm -uvh"

Ah, good spot! Fixed in the RHUI Installer chapter, and also fixed the same error in the new 'Updating' chapter.
