Important

When running the Red Hat Network Satellite Installation Program in disconnected mode, it will not automatically download and install the Red Hat Network GPG key, which will cause the installation to fail. To import the key manually, import from your base operating system media with this command: 
# rpm --import /media/RHEL/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release

At the prompt, enter the email address to which you would like notifications from the Satellite to be sent. It may be a good idea to choose a general email address rather than the address of an individual, as there can be a large volume of emails. 
You must enter an email address.
