Register the system with RHN, even if it is already
registered.
Install the satellite in disconnected mode.
Clear any pre-existing database schema before
installing. This will destroy any data in the Satellite
database and re-create empty Satellite schema.
D o not test the Red Hat Enterprise Linux version
before installing.
Do not check to make sure SELINUX is disabled.
RHN Satellite is not currently supported on
selinux-enabled systems.

RHN Satel- lite requires that the hostname be properly
set during instal- lation. Using this option may result
in a Satellite server that is not fully functional.
Do not install the embedded database. This option
may be useful if you are re-installing the satellite, and
do not want to clear the database.
Do not check to make sure there is enough free disk
space to install the embedded database.
Do not populate the database schema.
Do not import Red Hat's GPG key.
