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. --------Change from ------------------------------- --------Change to ------------------------------- 2.1.
