Section Number and Name: 6.1. Registering Clients Using the Bootstrap Script

--------------------------------

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.5-beta/html/managing_hosts/chap-red_hat_satellite-managing_hosts-managing_hosts#sect-Red_Hat_Satellite-Managing_Hosts-Adding_New_Hosts_to_Satellite_6_Using_The_Bootstrap_Script

2.9.7. Registering Hosts to Satellite 6 Using The Bootstrap Script

------------------

Describe the issue: 

RHEL 8 only has its own system python installed by default under 
usr/libexec/

The bootstrap script will not run if called in the normal ./bootstrap.py way

On a RHEL8 host you can run bootstrap.py as follows:

~#] /usr/libexec/platform-python bootstrap.py


Suggestions for improvement: 

Example commands shiuld mention that on RHEL8 you need to use a command as follows:
~#] /usr/libexec/platform-python bootstrap.py
