Hello,
I will give it a shot in the future. What I found that kickstart does
not like yum installs at all in the %post% section.
It will execute commands like add user, create files, create directories
but not yum installs such as:
yum update -y
yum install epel-release -y
yum groupinstall "Server with GUI" -y
yum groupinstall "Xfce" -y
Also the other reply is completely irrelevant since the point here is
fully automating the install with kickstart.
Unfortunately if you use the GUI you will need to push FINISH once
during the setup:
eula --agreed
doesn't help on that either.

I am working on a kickstart automated Centos 7 GUI vm deployment.
Defining gnome desktop in kickstart works.
@gnome-desktop - A GNOME desktop
However Centos and anything from the epel-release such as xrdp does
not
work.
I have tried it on different ways.
repo --name=epel-release
%packages
#epel-release # DOES NOT WORK
@ Core #@core
@ Base #@base
@ X Window System #@x11
#@ XFCE # DOES NOT WORK
@xfce-desktop # DOES NOT WORK
#@Server with GUI # DOES NOT WORK
#Xfce # DOES NOT WORK
#xrdp # DOES NOT WORK
I would also like to do a full system upgrade automatically.
You need to tell anaconda where to find the repo:
repo --name=EPEL
--baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/
You can then use EPEL packages in the %packages section. It's better
to point to a local or nearby mirror if you do this often. Add
another line for the updates repo to get those installed. My typical
kickstart file has lines like:
url --url=https://.../centos/7/os/x86_64/
repo --name=base --baseurl=https://.../centos/7/os/x86_64/
repo --name=updates --baseurl=https:/.../centos/7/updates/x86_64/
repo --name=EPEL --baseurl=https://.../fedora-epel/7/x86_64/
I have successfully installed MATE and XFCE this way.
