Thanks, I just have some packages which actually doesn't have dependency but in the pre and post install script of rpm they use eg. grep to check something, and at this point grep is not installed, so the package will not be installed with kickstart. Is there any option in kickstart to tell a package 'when' it should be installed?

It installs comps first because comps contains dependency information for the rest of the packages, then it determines what order to install based on that dependency information, so if package 'bar' requires package 'foo' be installed, then foo will be installed before bar, regardless of what order they are in in your ks.cfg. -- Jason Kohles email@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.jasonkohles.com/ "A witty saying proves nothing." -- Voltaire _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
