One of the things I would like to do with kickstart is to get aproximately the same set of packages I have installed now. I always forget something that I have to install later, so just using the anaconda-generated kickstart file would not do the trick. I've looked at the kickstart file, I've read about its format and I've looked at package lists from yum and rpm. The correspondence is not obvious to me. Assuming that the kickstart file is correct, how do I add a package to it? How do I figure out what name to give in the kickstart file? I'm pretty sure that I didn't add tex after install, but look here: [root@localhost ~]# yum provides '*/tex' ... texlive-2007-56.fc14.i686 : Binaries for the TeX formatting system Repo : installed Matched from: Filename : /usr/bin/tex [root@localhost ~]# rpm -q --all | grep tex texlive-texmf-2007-36.fc14.noarch texlive-texmf-fonts-2007-36.fc14.noarch texlive-utils-2007-56.fc14.i686 tex-preview-11.86-6.fc14.noarch gettext-0.18.1.1-5.fc14.i686 texlive-2007-56.fc14.i686 texlive-texmf-latex-2007-36.fc14.noarch texlive-texmf-dvips-2007-36.fc14.noarch texlive-dvips-2007-56.fc14.i686 texlive-latex-2007-56.fc14.i686 gettext-libs-0.18.1.1-5.fc14.i686 libtextcat-2.2-11.fc13.i686 [root@localhost ~]# grep tex anaconda-ks.cfg @text-internet Also, anaconda-ks.cfg was generated by a F14 install. I'll be installing F16.
