I am not sure about specifying another comps.xml file, but there are possibly 2 other solutions you may want to try: 1) If you are using kickstart (I assume because this is the kickstart list), then explicitly list the packages that you want installed for one of the cases (presumably your "edited" case). And then don't edit comps.xml. If you explicit list the packages, then it will never use comps.xml. comps.xml will then only be used if doing a "regular" install. 2) you could define your own groups within the comps.xml, and leave the other groups untouched. Then in your custom install, specify those groups in the package section. During regular installs, it would just be normal. I think this should be possible, but I have never tried it... --brett On Mon, 2003-02-10 at 18:37, Smith, Eric V. wrote: > Is it possible to specify an alternate comps.xml file?
