Ok, I burn a standard fedora iso, I boot on it, please do tell me where is the command line or whatever I can use to input kickstart commands. Why do you have any package choices in anaconda anyway? You can do it all after the install, isn't it? If what you people want is a minimal install that only gives a reliable network and/or cdrom afterwards and have the real install being done after having booted on it, just do it. But stop pussyfooting around. Make a damn decision. OG. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
