Description Clayton Coleman 2012-04-18 03:43:56 UTC 
Forum user reported this - they needed to get 'rubygems' which is an optional package.  They tried cloudforms but should have only needed optional:

We are changing the getting started page to indicate RHEL 6.2 users may need to install the optional channel.  The page should be tested.

Changed getting started page.
Comment 2 Xiaoli Tian 2012-04-19 06:09:53 UTC 
Tested it on devenv_1731, the following content has been added to gettting-started page:

(RHEL 6.2 only) If you are using RHN Classic, you may need to add the RHEL 6.2 Optional Channel in order to install the 'rubygems' package.

$ sudo rhn-channel --add --channel=rhel-x86_64-server-optional-6
