Be careful when using these on RH9 as RedHat managed to break the --generate optionsthrough typos in the Python code (Bugzilla'd and fix sent through sometime ago). They have apparently integrated the fixes in Fedora. For those wanting a fix you need to do the following: CD into /usr/share/redhat-config-language and copy language_backend.py to languageBackend.py cp language_backend.py languageBackend.py Next edit languageBackend.py and change the line that reads class LanguageBackend to read languageBackend et viola fixed Of course be aware that ksconfig/redhat-config-kickstart with --generate dont appear to know anything about Package groups so just list every single RPM into the ks file :( HTH
