I've noticed several packages get installed without being explicitly referenced in packages, these include anacron, apmd, irda-utils, lilo, ypbind, yp-tools, isdn4k-utils, kernel-pcmcia-cs, krbafs, pam_krb5. I'm not sure what causes this behavior, but I've just been removing the packages with rpm -e in %post. I think you can also explicitly state that you do not want a package installed by prefixing the package name with - in %packages. I have not tried this yet... -Mark -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Lynn, Michael (DCS) Sent: Monday, March 17, 2003 1:07 PM To: 'kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx' Subject: IPChains / IPTables installed without being in Package list in ks .cfg Does anyone know how ipchains and iptables are getting installed if I don't reference them explicitly in my %packages list in the ks.cfg. I build a custom ks.cfg for each install and explicitly reference all packages that I want installed - I don't use package groupings and yet - ipchains and iptables get installed. Is Advanced Server built to automatically install these? Is there some other controlling mechanism that determines packages that get installed?
