I do not think variables like that exist. But then last time I looked at kickstart was before the Anaconda rewrite. AFAIK, this page is the canonical documentation on kickstart files: <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart> That said, I think this kind of information can be extracted by some scripting in the kickstart files. The post install section is one big script after all. If you are not familiar with it yet, take a look at the Fedora spin kickstarts[1] for some examples. Hope this helps, Footnotes: [1] Available with yum install spin-kickstarts. Git: <https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/spin-kickstarts.git/tree/> -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
