It would be an *extremely* useful feature of Anaconda to be able to have multiple yum/rpm transactions in the context of a single kickstart. I would propose that this be accomplished by having a new transaction every time you encounter %packages. I know that this sounds like an oddball request, but let me explain the reasoning. There are (very often) RPMs that you wish to install at kickstart time that are not RH/Fedora content that you have no control over. These third parties may or may not know how to package things and make them dependency complete for installation at kickstart-time (and assume that you're going to install them on an already-installed system, for example), or do completely crazy things, like have %pretrans scripts, which aren't very useful in the install environment. I'm not all that familiar with anaconda internals, but this doesn't sound like major surgery to me - just take the existing code, and wrap it into something that can be executed multiple times. This behavior is obviously completely optional, if you only have one %packages section in your kickstart, it behaves the same way it does today. Let me know if further detail on the use case is required. -Jon _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
