In Centos 5.5 (anaconda-11.1.2.209), after setting up PACKAGESRESCUE to contain a list of packages required for rescue mode, upd-instroot contains the following code: # turn off options we dont want, ie. set package list to something harmless if [ -z "$NEEDGR" ]; then PACKAGESGR="bash" PACKAGESRESCUE="bash" fi What is the reason that useful text-mode rescue utilities like dump, less and ssh are dropped if we're not building a graphical installer?
