So we're trying to build a very minimal build that we then build upon to form our systems. I'm trying to get rid of alot of unecessary packages that we don't require for our systems. I'm running into a problem where the kickstart is still installing some packages, even though I'm specifically telling it not too and the package not being a required dependancy of any other package I'm installing. My kickstart is very, very basic for this testing: install cdrom lang en_US langsupport --default=en_US en_US keyboard us skipx key #### text network --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp --hostname host.example.com bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=hda --append="rhgb quiet" rootpw --iscrypted ########## authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5 firewall --disabled timezone America/Los_Angeles selinux --disabled clearpart --all --drives=hda part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=128 --asprimary --ondrive=hda part swap --size=12288 --asprimary part pv.01 --size=100 --grow volgroup rootvg pv.01 logvol / --fstype ext3 --vgname=rootvg --size=20480 --name=rootlv reboot %packages --nobase @Core -Deployment_Guide_en-US -system-config-securitylevel-tui The problem is, even with --nobase, I still keep getting the Deployment_Guide and system-config-securitylevel-tui. The system-config package is part of the Base group, so it shouldn't be installed anyways. The Deployment Guide is part of Core, but I'm specifically telling it not to install. What am I missing here? Also, system-config-securitylevel-tui isn't being brought in because of a requirement, it's just showing up. You can remove the package as soon as the system comes up. It also doesn't show in the anaconda.log as being added to fulfill a requirement. It just suddenly shows up in the log, because slang and newt do get added due to a requirement that system-config-securitylevel has. I do see an error in the log that 'no such package system-config-securitylevel-tui', right after it tells me 'not adding Base group'. Any input to this would be greatly appreciated it. I'd rather not muck with post just to get some RPM's removed that should be taken care of via the %packages section. .....................................................................
