[rhn-users] RH EL4 light install help needed.

Try downloading RHEL 4 update 3 or 4. This will have the working driver to work with perc 5 cards.  I also had same issue and it was fixed with the update isos you can download  from the rhn site.

Hi Everyone,

I'm a FreeBSD guy normally so be easy on me~!

I have half a dozen Dell 1950 servers with RHEL4 on them, the base 
install (they come preloaded with) has 945 packages installed by default.

I want to deploy these servers with minimal packages on them, ideally 
with Mod_Python, Apache2 and a few other packages only...

I have attempted to reinstall via the supplied Dell + RHEL4 installer 
CD's but I never get the opportunity to select what i want installed and 
what i don't want etc... i end up with over 1000 packages.. Installing 
via RHEL4 disc's directly (not using the Dell system loader) fails when 
it looks for a location to install, probably due to some incompatibility 
with the on-board raid controller. It is a LSI megaraid card. It should 
be supported but i am thinking it might be a very late chipset.

any suggestions or advice would really be appreciated.
