Running rngd can slow down the boot in some situations. All current
arches in RHEL support better entropy gathering so this is no longer
needed.
Resolves: rhbz#2028720
This reverts commit 09acfd978e.
rngd is installed in the initrd by dracut, and unconditionally started,
so this won't fix rngd slowdowns in the initrd.

rngd should no long be needed, recent kernels have enough entropy out of
the box. This leaves it in the boot.iso but only enables it if inst.rngd
is passed on the kernel cmdline.

scp in openssh 8.7 will change to use sftp protocol. See
https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/pull/194 for details.
This enables the sshd internal-sftp implementation so that newer scp
versions will continue to work as expected. Note that the sshd service
is only running during the installation if inst.sshd is passed on the
kernel cmdline.

nomodeset no long does anything helpful, and inst.text doesn't make sense
with a live image so drop the menu from the live image.

grub2-2.06-3 changes where the unicode.pf2 font file is stored.
This changes the efi.tmpl to install it from the new location, which
means that it depends on grub2-2.06-3, but there is no way to express
this in the runtime-install.tmpl so if you see a failure like:
2021-07-08 16:10:05,586: OSError: nothing matching /var/tmp/lorax/lorax.t80f74er/installroot/boot/grub2/fonts/unicode.pf2 in /
It means the new version of grub2 wasn't in the repos you used when
running lorax.

rvykydal pointed out that libvorbis is still pulled in via gnome-kiosk
dependencies so keep the removefrom line and update the comment.

anaconda in F34 and Rawhide recently stopped accepting params
without the inst. prefix, so 'rescue' does nothing except print
a warning now. We need to use `inst.rescue`. This has worked for
quite a long time so will be OK at least on all Fedoras and RHEL
8, not sure about RHEL 7.

The difference between the anaconda-install-{env,img}-deps packages is how
they treat dependencies. The -env package leaves some dependencies as weak to
allow less featureful builds. The -img package hard-requires everything
Anaconda could potentially use and ensures everything works.
For boot.iso, the latter is preferable. Its usage moves some things from the
templates to that package.

mk-s390-cdboot has stopped working because the kernel outgrew the
hard-coded offset it used when creating cdboot.img. IBM now has a script
in s390utils that can do the same thing so use the upstream script
instead.
This drops mk-s390-cdboot script, switches the s390 templates to use
mk-s390image from s390utils.
It adds @ROOT@ to cdboot.prm, and sets inst.stage2 so that the installer
image will be found when booting the iso.

This should be pulled in by libblockdev-mpath, but for some reason it is
not. It may be related to it being changed to a 'Recommends' -- but we
are not yet sure. So make sure it is included until that can be tracked
down.
Include the generic.ins file on the s390 boot iso, so it's directly bootable
on an LPAR. The full iso already had generic.ins included.

Anaconda creates a user for connecting via ssh during the installation
when the sshpw kickstart command is used. The user is created with
"/sbin/nologin" shell when /etc/default/useradd is missing, which
prevents the user from log into the running installation.

This new setting for 'find_multipaths' tries to prevent things like
LVM from going ahead and activating LVM on the individual disks/paths
until there is reasonable certainty (via a timeout) that the device
is not a component of a multipath set.
NOTE: 'smart' is supported by device-mapper-multipath v0.7.7 and later.

dracut renamed this module so the files were being removed from the
install.img (BUT not from the initramfs). They are necessary for the
shutdown eject feature to work.
Related: rhbz#1805405
The eject utility moved into util-linux and the package was dropped, but
since the runtime-cleanup template is using `removefrom util-linux
--allbut` it was never added to the boot.iso after the move.
This adds it to the list of binaries to keep from util-linux.

It was substituting _ which didn't match what pungi uses for creating
the DVD. Make things consistent and use - as the replacement character.
