No, it isn't. unless you have some clear evidence of this - RH don't do that on their standard distribution. They do have some closed-source software (RHN Satellite, for example) but the distro as far as I know is *all* open-source sw. > > Or if it's not, and they're supplying source code for that part of > the installer as well, then what's the point? AIUI the code you enter allows certain packages to appear in the installer - and identifies to rhn which components you are entitled to support and updates for. I think you'll find the Server install iso images are all the same, whether you have a subscription for RHEL5 Advanced Platform, or just plain RHEL5. regards Stuart - -- Stuart Sears RHCA RHCSS RHCX PEBKAC STFU "Quit worrying about your health.
