Yeah, this was filed as 242942 and is fixed in CVS. For systems that have already been installed, you can grab pykickstart-1.2 out of devel and use that. Unfortunately, that doesn't help you for doing new installs. > However, if you try to run system-config-kickstart against a file it > just created with these lines in it, you get a pop up with this message: > > "One of biospart or partition options must be specified" > > Obviously, the biospart is a new key word, but the check for the new key > word broke the old one! :) It's actually fairly old.

We've been talking about releasing an updates.img for common install problems. This looks like a good one to add to that image, since it's probably going to affect a fair number of people. Watch the bug I listed above, which is where I'll leave some sort of comment if we do an updates.img for this (and other issues). - Chris
