Description Ales Kozumplik 2013-10-11 13:52:16 UTC 
Description of problem:
20-Beta-TC1, using the kickstart below. There's notably no %packages section. When I get to the summary hub I see SOFTWARE SELECTION with the warning icon and "Gnome Desktop" status. I click it, see "Gnome Desktop" preselected, click "Done" immediately, come back to the hub, nothing has changed (i.e. still yellow icon on SOFTWARE SELECTION, can not click Begin).

All with yum payload.

*not a blocker material*.

Are you still seeing this problem with F20 final?
Comment 2 Ales Kozumplik 2014-03-11 08:15:19 UTC 
Only had a chance to try today. On 0309 rawhide compose pxe boot I still get the described behavior. With the kickstart above and this command line I can not get past the main hub doing what I described in comment 0.
