Brock, Thanks, but I wasn't thinking only of zSeries. I support a lot of Intel and AMD boxes as well. For me, not entering anything, then clicking OK or Cancel didn't work. I had to put in _something_.
If the "installation key will be used to determine which packages to install" as Brad stated, and it's _likely_ to be along the lines of the current activation codes, this seems to imply some sort of external setup (perhaps in RHN) prior to installation. And a working Internet connection. Hopefully that's not the case, since that would be a horrible mistake. Most of the systems I install never have access to the Internet, and the ones that do, only get it long after the install has been performed.
