I would like to use kickstart only to select the same packages on all
machines. (partitions, networking, etc may be different between them).
This is to do a 7.3 install on an existing 7.2 system (usually reformat /
and /boot, keep existing /home)
I tried this by taking an anaconda-ks.cfg and paring it down, but it didn't
work. I cut it down to just:
----------
# Kickstart file automatically generated by anaconda.
interactive
%packages
<package list deleted to save space>
%post
-----------
and it still didn't work. It failed after mouse selection with the message:
"Could not allocate requested partitions
Parition failed: Could not allocate partition as primary partition
Press OK to reboot"
No where in any of the ks.cfg files I used was there any information about
requested partitions. I expected to be prompted for that. As the machines
aren't all partitioned the same way, I would like to be prompted for that.
I am glad it failed to repartition the drive, since that isn't what I
wanted it to do.
The same installation went fine without using kickstart, but I would like
to make the next 5 machines the same.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Bruce
