 This role makes use of the [Ansible Posix collection](https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.posix).
 Depending on whether certain actions are required, the role needs to install the following packages:
+- `rsync`: To extract files from mounted ISO to work directory
 - `xorriso`: To create a custom ISO
 - `isomd5sum`: To implant a MD5 checksum into a custom ISO
 - `pykickstart`: To validate a given Kickstart file
