Maybe not. I had been using a RHEL 5.2 base for my kickstart, and that, even with all updates applied, let rhn_register work with haldaemon stopped. I just recently rebuilt my kickstart on a RHEL 5.4 base, and that's where this issue came in for me. One of these days, I was planning on building an image with --nobase --resolvedeps to get the 399 packages I'm dealing with now chopped down. But, at this point, if I did that, and then tried to register the system, I'd probably run into this issue. I don't know what it would take to get Red Hat to back away from this "Wow, cool new toys, let's make everything dependent upon all of these wonderful new servers, it'll be so awesome!" mentality. If somebody really wants the kerflugen daemon to manage their mouse and USB backscratcher... let them install it. The rest of us aren't trying to see how "cool" our systems can be. How I long for the days when ps ax would all fit on one terminal screen. -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * *********************************************************************** _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
