Just had to connect to a new temporary db during the setup and afterwards connect to the old db again. cheers! In fact, it was indeed easily solved by following the RHEL os-and-sat-upgrade guide.

Afterwards, you'll have the anaconda.ks.cfg in root's home directory, and I would just remove any/all packages that you don't want to install. And finally, reinstall the system using your kickstart file hosted from a webserver of your choosing.

You may add a step regarding having the DBA create a new Oracle database for the new Satellite, and restoring a copy of the old database to the new one. Also, you'd wouldn't probably want to copy over /etc/tnsnames.ora since it'll need to point to a different database on the new server.

I noticed that you wrote a post on minimal install a couple years back. Do you have any tips for accomplishing such an install for F16? Thanks for your time!

I assume that during the install script there will be an option to avoid connecting to the database? thanks for the excellent article by the way, sure clarifies a lot.
