Re: How to install *all* packages via kickstart?

thanks!

I'll give this a whirl.

At a certain point, I got sick of going into a machine and finding half the diagnostic utilities (and their dependent libraries) weren't installed and that just impeded tracking down the real issues I was having. I'm in no mood to wait and pull down packages (and potentially not install depending on what's going wrong) at 4am.

Does someone have a list I can place in the packages section which is

How about something like this
cd /path/to/centos/RPMS/dir
rpm -q -p *rpm >/tmp/packages.list

and put the contents of /tmp/packages.list in your kickstart to
get everything installed.

Or if you don't want to list the version numbers something like
for i in `echo *rpm`; do rpm --queryformat %{NAME} -q -p $i 2>/dev/ null;echo
"";done | tee /tmp/packages.list

Not that I can think of a good reason to install every package available..

There may be packages that conflict with other packages as well, I've
never tried installing everything before.
