The problem turns out to be a bug RH has known about since 2014, has a workaround for (https://access.redhat.com/solutions/976603 if you have access), and has not fixed. Unfortunately, the machine I am installing on doesn't have a CD/DVD drive, so I am scouting for other solutions short of installing a drive.

I've only used RedHat a small amount. Mainly for clients running Oracle in production, so RH was the only supported distro.

Does this help ?

I'm reminded of a bumper sticker I saw many years ago: Every since I gave up hope, I've felt much better.

Unless your working for a company and it's for an enterprise setting it doesn't make sense to pay for support from Red Hat when the support is borderline useless.

Centos is for people without money. Rhel is for people with money and want a support contract.

I just signed up and paid for a Red Hat subscription, and downloaded the RHEL 7.4 ISO image, made a bootable USB, booted it and am trying to install it. Under Installation Source, I get "Error setting up a base repository". I have been searching for answers, but cannot find any article that tells me what base repository I should set up. Every URL I try gives me the error.

I have e-mailed Red Hat support; let's see if anyone answers (their on-line help is truly awful). Meanwhile if anyone can point me to the answer, I'd appreciate it. Thank you very much in advance.

Why not just use CentOS? Or better yet, Debian?

Later,
JP
