Hi Roman, that looks decent. Have you tried it yet? I unfortunately can't modify anything because then I'd lose support from my Vendor. So, sadly I'm forced to use only what is supported with the standard tools that each verison of RHEL comes with.

Hi Roman, RHEL 2.1 (based on RH 7.3) doesn't support %include. Only RHEL 3 and 4 support it. I am guessing then that RH8 and newer also support it. I have to support RHEL 2.1, 3, and 4, and thus I unfortunately can't take %include for granted. My RHEL 2.1 KS files are a different than the rest. I generate them on-the-fly via a CGI script, so its not a big deal _now_, but it used to be a pain to always make exceptions for RHEL 2.1, where just nothing is standard and half the stuff you need missing.

Please respond to Discussion list about Kickstart <kickstart-list@r edhat.com> Hi ALL, I'm working on an ESX server from VMware which uses anaconda + Kickstart. However it's anaconda version is quite archaic - I can't figure out the version of anaconda. It has also been heavily hacked by folks from VMware. They say it is based on RH7.2 I mounted netstg1.img and did a grep on "include" in "usr/lib/anaconda" but that didn't turn up any good positives... Maybe it just isn't there? My question is: How long ago was "%include" directive introduced? Should I take it for granted?
