 An Ansible playbook for automating system bootstrap processes in an Infrastructure-as-Code manner, utilizing ArchISO as the foundational tool.
 
 # Info
+
 Most of the roles are adaptable for use with systems beyond ArchLinux, requiring only that the target system can install a necessary package manager, such as `dnf` for RHEL-based systems. Additionally, a replacement for the `arch-chroot` command may be required for these systems.
 
 **NOTE**:
-- RHEL Systems are not currently supported due to restricted access to their repositories.
-  A workaround could involve using an ISO as a local repository or setting up a proxy repository to facilitate access.
+
+- For RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, repository access requires the `rhel_iso` variable. This variable specifies a local ISO or proxy repository.
+- RHEL systems do not support `btrfs`. Use `ext4` or `xfs` as alternatives.
+- For RHEL 8, `xfs` may cause installation issues; `ext4` is recommended.
+
+# Supported Distributions

 ## 3. Inventory Variables
 
 Inventory variables are defined for individual hosts or VMs in the inventory file, allowing customization of settings such as the operating system, filesystem, and compliance with CIS benchmarks. These variables can be set globally and overridden for specific hosts or VMs.
