Description Russell Dickenson 2017-11-15 23:36:54 UTC
Document URL: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.2/html/host_configuration_guide/sect-red_hat_satellite-host_configuration_guide-configuring_hosts-registration#sect-Red_Hat_Satellite-Host_Configuration_Guide-Adding_New_Hosts_to_Satellite_6_Using_The_Bootstrap_Script

Section Number and Name: 10.5.5. Registering Hosts to Satellite 6 Using The Bootstrap Script

Describe the issue: Step 2 uses `wget` to download the bootstrap script from the Satellite. However, `wget` is not installed by default on RHEL 7, so it is not available for use. While it could be installed, it has to come from a repository, and if the RHEL instance is being registered to the Satellite for content management purposes, we have a chicken-and-egg situation.

Suggestions for improvement: Replace "wget" with "curl -O" as curl is installed by default on RHEL 7, and likely RHEL 6.
