Folks, A newbie on this list - but I have read archives and am on the kickstart list. I have been through Luigi Bitonti's RH 8.0 kickstart customisation, and it all works great. I have fewer drivers on the floppy boot images, allowing for a bigger post-install script, I even have my own splash-screen .. I have a new toplevel install bundle, with a new class file. I have added a bunch of my own RPMs to the distribution. I yum-ified the RPM directory before burning the CD. However ... During the install I get ascii-art dialog boxes that say 44% instead of nice thermometer progress meters .. I have cut down a lot of the RPMs on the CD, and fixed up the comps file appropriately - but I obviously cut it too far. What must I add back in to get graphical dialog boxes ? I presume it must be something missing at the buildinstall phase ? Is it something that must be installed on the machine that runs buildinstall ? slang ? newt ? I have those packages and their devel versions but it still draws ascii lines. Cheers, Andy!
