Thanks for the patch, however, all this requires that I have all of the necessary things loaded to recompile the anaconda package....I am excited that they might include it in a future package. Thanks for making that effort. So, If I just want to modify the comps file what do I do with the very first number in the file. In my version there is a 4....what does that relate to? I will put zero's in every package definition then list my individual rpms using the mkkickstart utility. Thanks. Mike Michael Barsalou barjunk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
