Okay, so the katello install went great and now I'm into the installing foreman bit. Specifically here: foreman-installer --scenario katello <options> . I have to admit, i have no idea what options are normal. If I'm jus tlooking to store and manage repos and the like is selecting the Generic option okay here? Just foreman-installer --scenario katello Generic?
