Thanks Phil.
- Definitely indefinitely? Or just a really long time?
Never comes back. I've waited as long as 20 minutes.
- Why not exclude sendmail from the package list in the kickstart file?
I didn't. Most probably included as part of a RH package I most definately didn't expect to include a sendmail dep, or anaconda insists on installing it despite not including it.

Don't know if it'll help.
- rpm has various verbose/debugging flags which should help pin it down
I'll have to take a closer look. Maybe I can get more out of rpm after all.
Thanks.
- Chris
