      Section Number and Name:
      3.6. Synchronizing the System Clock With chronyd
      and
      3.7. Installing the SOS Package on the Base Operating System

      Describe the issue:
      Are these necessary as they are already installed with the @Base package group that is required to be installed as mentioned in section 1.4. Supported Operating Systems

      "Red Hat Satellite Server requires a Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation with the @Base package group with no other package-set modifications, and without third-party configurations or software not directly necessary for the direct operation of the server. This restriction includes hardening and other non-Red Hat security software. If you require such software in your infrastructure, install and verify a complete working Satellite Server first, then create a backup of the system before adding any non-Red Hat software."

      Suggestions for improvement:
      Remove sections 3.6 and 3.7 and insert a new command to install the @Base package to be installed in section "3.4.1. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8" between current steps 2 and 3.

      Should look like this:
      2. Enable the following repositories:

      1. subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms \
        --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms \
        --enable=satellite-6.13-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms \
        --enable=satellite-maintenance-6.13-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms

      3. Install the @Base package group

      1. dnf install @Base

      4. Enable the DNF modules:

      1. dnf module enable satellite:el8

      Additional information:
      With the installation of the @Base package group sos is installed and chrony is already installed as part of a minimal install and enabled on start-up in RHEL 8.
