In this case it seems that just installing cronie by default in anaconda would suffice. A similar bug, #474219, was apparently fixed earlier this year, with Jeremy Katz saying: "Having crontabs requiring /etc/cron.d means that you can't do a minimal install without cron, sendmail, etc anymore. There's nothing about crontabs that requires /etc/cron.d, so requiring it really is kind of overkill. Yes, you don't get working cron unless you have a cron daemon installed, but if I have it chkconfig'd off, they don't run either." /Benny -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
