Next step will be the installation of the required RPMs, I’m also using nginx to reuse as much as possible from my RHEL 8 Repository Blog. ~]# dnf install -nogpgcheck $(rpm -E %rhel).noarch.rpm $(rpm -E %rhel).noarch.rpm RPMFusion is exactly the same like on AlmaLinux. ~]# dnf config-manager -set-enabled powertools The installation of EPEL is similar to AlmaLinux.

PRETTY_NAME='Rocky Linux 8.6 (Green Obsidian)' Many people whould complain that it will be the same than RHEL 8, but is is not, there are some differencies between AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Oracle Linux and RHEL 8.īase is a Rocky Linux Linux 8.6 minimal installation. We need a work around in order to accomplish an install, I thought there might be a way to do it via the vmlinuz command that seems to be what is used to launch the install but could not find anything on the web and this is not an area of expertise on my part.This Blog is about a setup of a Rocky Linux Repository server. Looking in the VM storage you can see rhel-server-7.2-x86_64-boot.iso mounted as an IDE drive There is no way to enable the selection of the drop down to answer 'Which installation source would you like to use?' INSTALATION SOURCES - Error setting up base repositoryĬlicking on Installation Sources.only give you the option of adding a new Repository that is associated to a repository addressed via a URL.(I even tried to use the 'file:' option and point it to the ISO file on the files system and that did not work either, not that I really expected it to.) I point VirtualBox to the ISO image and it boots fine, starts the install and I get as far as selecting the keyboard.Īfter selecting keyboard you do not get an option to select the install type. Mac OS 10.13.1ĭownloaded and Installed VirtualBox (no problems)ĭownloaded : rhel-server-7.2-x86_64-boot.iso (also tried with newer rhel-server-7.4-x86_64-boot.iso same problem)
