Okay, I've got my kickstart setup working now ... but I'm a little mystified as to why it's installing packages that are nowhere near what I've specified. This is the packages list I'm specifying: -- cut -- @ admin-tools @ base-x @ compat-arch-support @ legacy-network-server @ system-tools e2fsprogs grub kernel portmap yp-tools ypbind -am-utils -autofs -- cut -- ... but this is what gets installed: -- cut -- @ legacy-network-server @ icelandic-support @ german-support @ arabic-support @ danish-support @ catalan-support @ bengali-support @ spanish-support @ brazilian-support @ hebrew-support @ estonian-support @ french-support @ system-tools @ turkish-support @ portuguese-support @ finnish-support @ norwegian-support @ admin-tools @ romanian-support @ tamil-support @ japanese-support @ hindi-support @ punjabi-support @ gujarati-support @ base-x @ chinese-support @ korean-support @ welsh-support @ italian-support @ slovak-support @ slovenian-support @ ukrainian-support @ czech-support @ bulgarian-support @ hungarian-support @ swedish-support @ british-support @ polish-support @ dutch-support @ russian-support @ greek-support @ compat-arch-support kernel -autofs grub portmap yp-tools ypbind -am-utils e2fsprogs -- cut -- Nothing against the Swedish, Punjabi, Czechs, or Bulgarians, but I really don't need to support those locales, fonts, dictionaries, or desktops. I really don't want this stuff installed, and I'm sure I didn't ask for it. What gives? Is there a tidier way to get a stripped-down system without having to specify everything manually? thanks, Klaus
