RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Miroslav Vadkerti 2010-05-18 13:42:26 UTC 
Description of problem:
When installing minimal platform via kickstart file it has to include:
%packages --nobase
This should be documented for RHEL6.

Sample kickstart file used for testing minimal platform:
http://nest.test.redhat.com/mnt/qa/scratch/mvadkert/minimal_platform/minimal_platform-1.0.ks

More info on mimal platform here:

Comment 2 Miroslav Vadkerti 2010-05-18 13:44:52 UTC 
As minaml platform is a blocker feature, proposed blocker flag
Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2010-05-18 13:55:26 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.
Comment 4 Ryan Lerch 2010-05-18 21:22:23 UTC 
Component changed to the Installation Guide.
Comment 5 Miroslav Vadkerti 2010-05-20 19:54:25 UTC 
Please see also the issue about add-on repos what need s to be properly documented:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=561164#c82
Comment 6 Ruediger Landmann 2010-06-22 00:36:34 UTC 
*** Bug 548248 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 7 Ruediger Landmann 2010-06-23 06:41:44 UTC 
Description of minimal installation expanded in "9.17. Package Group Selection" in build 0-67 onwards:

"Minimal
    This option provides only the packages essential to run Red Hat Enterprise Linux. A minimal installation provides the basis for a single-purpose server or desktop appliance and maximizes performance and security on such an installation."

Also use of --nobase now refers to minimal installation by name in "32.5. Package Selection":

"--nobase
    Do not install the @Base group. Use this option to perform a minimal installation, for example, for a single-purpose server or desktop appliance."

I still need to document add-on repos.
Comment 8 Ruediger Landmann 2010-06-24 01:36:55 UTC 
Adding repos documented in build 0-68 -- "9.17.1. Installing from Additional Repositories"
Comment 9 Miroslav Vadkerti 2010-06-24 05:01:10 UTC 
Where can I find the latest build of Installation Docs please?
Comment 11 Miroslav Vadkerti 2010-06-24 07:32:33 UTC 
Thanks, the changes seem OK to me.
