It's sometimes easier, unless you really need to make use of all the different packaging groups that comps.xml provides, to add/remove from within the kickstart file, e.g. %packages --resolvedeps @ Base @ Core @ Printing -glibc-devel -pam_smb nc ethereal (Nothing precludes building said kickstart file with a script) Cheers, Phil
