RHEL for a beginner.
Got a Little confused when I was about to download and install RHEL workstation 7.2. Is the RHEL 7.2 beta binary DVD complete or should I also install Supp 7.2 Beta Binary DVD ?
Can't see any description of "Boot ISO", "Supp ... " and "Binary DVD"

Hi Dag,
First of all, the 7.2 version is a 'Beta' release, i.e. it's not yet finalized, and not suitable for other than testing use.
The 'Binary DVD' is sufficient for installation. The 'Supp'(lementary) DVD contains additional software. The 'Boot ISO' is only a basic system that lets you install from other sources, such as from the network.

Filed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1270845 regarding the ISO types.
How do I install the supp DVD? When I try to install other packages I get a lot of dependency errors.
See this solution article. You may need the base RHEL repo for dependencies.
