Hello,
I am new to kickstart and I am testing it in a vmware environment. What
I did was walked to the installation process installing all the packages
I wanted installed. After the installation process, I wanted to try out
the kickstart with the config file generated by anaconda
(/root/anaconda-ks.cfg).
Everything works just fine until it gets to the section where it has to
install the packages, then it crashes. I found out after some testing
that the issue has to do with the packages selected. Could someone
please shed some light on my problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, Seun -
Where's your partition layout specified? This example shows all of that
stuff commented out.
I don't recall off the top of my head at what point the system tries to
create partitions and install stuff, but I think it's right after it
makes the partitions. If it can't, then it will die when trying to
install packages.
Wait around here for a bit to see if anyone else can folow up on this.
Thanks
