Hi, I am Ganesh joined newly in the mailing list. I am impressed by the stateless linux methodology And want to investigate more on it.
Initially I started installing stateless linux on RHEL5 using this doc http://people.redhat.com/dmalcolm/stateless/stateless-linux-HOWTO-en/ind ex.html During #yum install readonly-root stateless-server step of the doc, I faced an issue Of conflict between the package readonly-root & initscripts This is the error ######################################################################## ############ [EMAIL PROTECTED] yum install readonly-root stateless-server Loading "rhnplugin" plugin Loading "installonlyn" plugin This system is not registered with RHN.

I believe I may not be able to proceed further without resolving this issue. Please suggest me a solution.
