Figured out what caused the error message. If the KS file is changed by one of hte %pre scripts then the error is generated. I know that anaconda rereads the ks.cfg file if is is modified. I'm not clear why there would be an error though, because the change is minimal. > -----Original Message----- > From: Fong Vang > Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 10:35 AM > To: 'anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx' > Subject: anaconda KeyError exception in %pre section > > I have a shell script in the %pre section which causes the install to > abort with an exception.
