Right now, when I use the original 4 CD from redhat, my ks.cfg works fine, and the package section looks like this %packages kernel grub -apmd -ash -cyrus-sasl-gssapi -dhclient -dos2unix -dump -fbset -finger -hotplug -ipsec-tools -iptables-ipv6 -irda-utils -isdn4k-utils -jfsutils -kernel-pcmcia-cs -krb5-workstaion -krbafs -krbafs-utils -lftp -lha -libwvstreams -lslk -minicom -mtr -mt-st -nano -nc -ncompress -netdump -nfs-utils -pam_krb5 -pam_smb -pax -pdksh -portmap -ppp -prelink -rdate -rdist -redhat-config-mouse -redhat-config-network-tui -rmt -rp-pppoe -rsh -setserial -sharutils -star -talk -tcpdump -tcsh -tftp -unix2dos -usbutils -vconfig -wireless-tools -wvdial -ypbind -yp-tools -samba -samba-common # Additional Package #anaconda-runtime mrtg ntp perl-CPAN perl-URI # DNS Services # ------------------------- # bind # caching-nameserver @ dns-server # ftp-server # ------------------------- # vsftpd @ ftp-server # mail # ------------------------- # curl # httpd # imap # libxml2 # perl-Digest-HMAC # perl-Digest-SHA1 # perl-HTML-Parser # perl-HTML-Tagset # perl-Net-DNS # perl-Time-HiRes # php # postfix # redhat-switch-mail # spamassassin # squirrelmail @ mail-server -redhat-switch-mail-gnome -sendmail-cf -atk -gtk2 -libglade2 -pango -pygtk2 -pygtk2-libglade # mysql # ------------------------- # mysql # perl-CGI # perl-DBD-MySQL # perl-DBI @ mysql -libdbi-dbd-mysql -MyODBC -mysql-devel -MySQL-python -unixODBC # -libmng -qt -XFree86-Mesa-libGLU # web # ------------------------- # crypto-utils # curl # gd # httpd # libobjc # libxml2 # mod_auth_mysql # mod_perl # mod_python # mod_ssl # mysql # newt-perl # perl_DBD-MySQL # perl-DBI # php # php-imap # php-mysql # tux # webalizer @ web-server gnuplot mod_auth_mysql php-mysql -bcel -commons-beanutils -commons-digester -commons-collections -commons-logging -commons-modeler -distcache-devel -distcache -hwcrypto -jakarta-regexp -mod_authz_ldap -mx4j -php-ldap -redhat-config-httpd -redhat-java-rpm-scripts -squid -xalan-j -xerces-j # -4Suite -alchemist -atk -audiofile -bonobo-activation -cup -esound -fam -GConf2 -gnome-mime-data -gnome-python2 -gnome-python2-bonobo -gnome-vfs2 -gtk2 -libart_lgpl -libbonobo -libbonoboui -libgcj-ssa -libglade2 -libgnome -libgnomecanvas -libgnomeui -libIDL -linc -ORBit -pango -pygtk2 -pygtk2-libglade -pyorbit -PyXML # Developer Package autoconf automake bison byacc cpp dev86 flex gcc gcc-c++ gcc-objc glibc-devel glibc-headers glibc-kernheaders glibc-profile #libobjc libstdc++-devel libtool libxml #libxml2 rpm-build For what ever reason, (it is what I am trying to fix), when I combine all 4 of my CD into one (adding the needed RPMS from CD2,3,and 4, into the first CD), the RPMS that get install doesn't match up with what my ks.cfg say. I did generate a hdlist before I make the new iso. I just learn how to generate a pkgfile to solve another possible problem. The only lose end I have yet is rather I need to update comps.xml (which seem a bit puzzling). From what I gather from your email, where I am using ks.cfg %package section to control what RPMS to install, I DO NOT need to edit my comps.xml.

It can get pretty messy if you add/remove lots of packages in your kickstart file, and adding/removing packages from comps.xml seems to be a cleaner way to do this. But it's really up to you what you want to do - I edited my comps.xml file and chopped out whole groups and added my own packages in a new 'custom' group. It works fine for me and I don't have to update my ks.cfg anymore for packages. pantz -- Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes ...
