Around the Fedora 5/6 timeframe I was working for a company that made livecds from Fedora. The build system for the livecds at this company used kickstart files and anaconda to install to an alternate root dir. When writing the kickstart files for this system, I noticed that I needed to "yum remove -y [FOO]" some packages in the %post that I had already listed as -FOO in the package list section. -FOO did not remove the packages because they were listed in one of the groups that was being pulled in. We could all be correct in our observations but confusing each other because nobody is specifying whether <packagereq type="mandatory|conditional|default|optional"> is being used for the packages we're trying to remove and there may be different behaviour for each of these. -Toshio
