==== Installation ====
There is a new installer for Foreman 1.3, it has many new options that are
taken directly from puppet class parameters. Check the help screen or install
with default options directly:
foreman-installer -v
==== Known issues ====
** Proxy registration happens before Apache is started **
You may encounter failure during proxy registration (Foreman_smartproxy puppet
class). In that case if you see 404 error while registering proxy, please
re-run the installer and the error should disappear.
http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/3083
** Installer throws an exception on error **
On Fedoras, when Puppet returns an error, our installer might issue an
exception instead of returning proper exit code. Investigate the log file to
see what happened during puppet run: /var/log/foreman-installer.
