Looking at the documentation listed on the Fedora Project, I see a reference to the %end tag. Under the title heading " Creating the Kickstart File" you will find this: "Old-style kickstart syntax does not specify for any end token after the %packages section or scripts. In this case, the following section order is required. New-style kickstart syntax requires using %end following these sections, which means that ordering is not required" http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart I think this works in Fedora and not CentOS where I actually had to remove them. So I guess the %end is bleeding edge while the rest of the body has yet to accept it into common practice.
