Suggestion: Enhancement to RedHat / CentOS post install script

Post by treimers »

Hello,

I ran into problems that my silent installation of a minimal CentOS suddenly did not work any longer (see also viewtopic.php?f=1&t=98010).

After a longer investigation I found that this results from a change to the CentOS repository and is related to the file

Code: Select all

/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Vault.repo 
I made a correction to the script

Code: Select all

redhat_postinstall.sh
that fixes the problems.

Find attach the script, feel free to incoporate it into future Virtual Box releases.

Cheers
Thorsten
