At least on my FC3 system:
sendmail is needed by a number of other packages
# rpm -e sendmail
error: Failed dependencies:
/usr/sbin/sendmail is needed by (installed) redhat-lsb-1.3-4.i386
smtpdaemon is needed by (installed) mdadm-1.6.0-2.i386
It is possible that this dependency is keeping it around

I had tried that early on, but noticed it wasn't getting removed.
Deamon was still present and startable.
Thanks.

I think you can exclude sendmail by putting
-sendmail
in the packages section of your kickstart file.

- 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.
- ps/pstree on the Alt+F2 VT should show at which point the
thing's
hung
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.
