Hm.. But if you build the list dynamically in the %pre section,
isn't this still in the kickstart config file? I am trying to
separate out the packages because I have a long list of packages and
package exclusions.

The way I do this is to create the file I want, along with the
decisioning logic in %pre.
Example
if xxxxx ; then
cat << EOF >> /tmp/pkg2include
pkg1
pkg2
etc
EOF
Then in the %packages, I use
%include /tmp/pkg2include
I think I ran into problems when the file doesn't exist, so I added:
touch /tmp/pkg2include
at the end of the %pre so the file was there, even if it was empty.

Subject: %include syntax and usage
Hello all,
I am hoping someone can help me with this. I am trying to separate my
%packages list into a different file using the %include directive.
I am
finding that no matter what I try, the install aborts due to not being
able to see the packages file. Hhere si the set up:
I build the linux computers via http, typing this at the boot prompt:
linux ks=http://10.10.10.52/ks.cfg
This points the install to the kickstart config which is located
here on
my webserver:
/var/build/linux/ks.cfg
Also in that directory is 'packages'
/var/build/linux/packages
In the kickstart file I have tried all of these and none have worked:
%include packages
%include ./packages
%include /var/build/linux/packages
%include http://10.10.10.52/packages
Could someone give me some pointers on the syntax? Thanks!
