Bug 1042716

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #972266 +++

Prompted by robatino, I did some testing with a really minimal kickstart. This one, in fact: http://www.happyassassin.net/ks/packages_only.ks . It contains only this:

---------------

install

%packages
@core
nano
fpaste
%end

---------------

how I'd expect that to behave is that the package selection specified would be used, but I could specify everything else interactively, just like a non-kickstart install.

It kinda works, but there are some quirks. This bug is one of them.

The "Installation Destination" bug comes up as "No disk selected". Okay, fine, I'd expect that. If I go through the way I would for a simple interactive install - click in, my disk is selected, click Done, click "Reclaim space" on Installation Options (the disk is full to start with), choose to wipe the disk, and complete - the hub still says "No disk selected". Now if I go back in, click Done, Installation Options comes up in its 'you've got plenty of space' mode. I complete it, and I'm back at the hub and now the spoke is saying "No bootloader configured". Just going through the spoke again doesn't clear it this time, but I can clear it if I go in, go to the bootloader screen (where it claims the disk is selected as the bootloader target, note), set it to install no bootloader, complete the spoke, then go back in, change 'back' to the disk as the bootloader target, and complete the spoke *again*. Finally, at this point, it's happy.

It's almost like it does one thing on each run through: first time through it clears the existing disk contents (but doesn't do autopart), second time it does autopart (but doesn't set the bootloader)....

What I'd expect is for it to behave just like a non-kickstart install: I go through the spoke just once, set all my choices, and then I'm done.
