Online and offline installation of IRIS/RDA standalone ISO
When installing the IRIS/RDA standalone ISO, you can select either online or offline
installation. The online option enables access to RPMs from remote repositories that are
needed if the host system does not contain dependencies that come from
AppStream and BaseOS repositories. These repositories
are automatically included when the combined OS and software ISO image used. The online
installation requires Internet connection.
If you select the offline installation option, the installation only uses the repositories
provided by ISO image and does not try to access remote repositories. In this case, for
example, devel packages cannot be installed, because they require a
specific version of base packages and this requires to access to remote repositories.
