We have been using a customized kickstart for years, but with RHEL 4, we plan to use Red Hat's existing kickstart infrastructure and bootstrap yum to add anything extra. In doing this, I wonder how you can configure kickstart to install optional packages inside a comps group without specifying each package manually. For example, @ graphical-internet includes evolution- connector as optional. I want it installed, so does that mean I have to call it out specifically? Is there a group-by-group way to tell Anaconda to install all packages including optional ones? Maybe a new syntax like this: %packages @ graphical-internet --include-optional @ emacs @ gnome-desktop /Brian/ -- Brian Long | | | IT Data Center Systems | .|||. .|||.
