If your packages section in the kickstart file is empty, the Base package in the Redhat/base/comps (see CD 1 of installation CDs) will still get installed. If you don't want to install Base, try deleting the packages in Base. andreas@xxxxxxxxxxx Sent by: To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx kickstart-list-admin@ cc: redhat.com Subject: dos boot image 02/06/2002 02:13 AM Please respond to kickstart-list Hi! I'm helping my MS Windows friend and I want to automatically repartion to fat fs and format the entire hd and then install a dos boot image, and no Linux filesystem or rpms whatsoever :-(, on the hd. Is it possible to use kickstart and a postscript for this? I know I can do the partioning and formating using kickstart, but are there any bash commands (e.g. dd) available for me to use in the postscript if I don't spec/install any rpms? Is it possible at all not to install ANY rpms, I mean if I dont spec any packages will I still get some rpms installed? Can I use dd to copy the dos boot image to the hd boot sector? Or is there an easier way to do all of this? /Andreas -- Get your firstname@lastname email at http://Nameplanet.com/?su _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
