One of the kickstarters
Only thing that is different about this one and the one used, is that the one
used was set to automatically start X, and I removed the script as it did not
work.
Hmmm... One thing I forgot - anaconda somhow forgot to detect the monitor in all instalations. So the res got set to 800x600 (had to set monitor by hand after install) Here's my response to your three issues: 1) This should be fixed with system-config-kickstart-2.5.11-2 in Rawhide. 2) Do you have non-ext3 partitions on the disk? 3) As far as I can tell, Norwegian Nynorsk should be nn_NO. That's what system-config-kickstart is writing out for me. Norwegian Norsk should write out no_NO. 1) Good! When will it be in stable? The version included with FC2 is somwhat... Non-working 2) Both yes and no: I one case, i was testing if the kickstart-installer worked (on my personal workstation. A bit risky it may seem...), but setting it to "use free space" and also to ask every question. But it seemed that the install just deleted everything on the disk, and then asked about partitioning, even if told what to do. In another case, where we where upgrading a buch of FC1/XP machines to FC2/XP, (ext3+NTFS), it just killed everything on the disk, and again asked for partitioning (giving the "which auto" and then the manual screen as during a normal Anaconda install...) (it was set to "remove all Linux partitions") I don't know if this is related to Anaconda or Kickstart, but it is sertainly a bug... 3) Hmmm... will you please test after setting your system language to Norwegian? But what about the screen detection? Think that is somwhat f'ed up... This works great during a normal anaconda install. BTW do you care to remove those two passwords in the attachment? I didn't see it before now... Anther thing about kickstart-editor: The dropdown where you choose architecture is somwhat un-userfriendly if you are installing on dead-standard x86... Maybee add an entry for it, even if it does not do anything but add an comment, but still... Created attachment 102442 [details]
File created with system-config-kickstart can't be reread
I created the attached file with system-config-kickstart, but when I try to
reload it later I get this message:

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; X11; Linux i686) Opera 7.50 [en] Description of problem: The kickstart files generated by the utility is simply not working! There are several reasons: - The package-group-selection is malformed (me, having Norwegian as the standard libary, got norwegian texts in the ks.cfg (like the ones printed on-screen during install), which obiviously didn't work. - During kickstart installs, anaconda first deletes every partition on disk, and then asks how to partition. I set that it should delete every linux partition, and not touch the others - Norwegian nynorsk should probably be named no_NN, not se_NN... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Make a kickstart-file using system-config-kickstart 2.boot the system of the boot-cd or cd1, set linux ks=floppy in syslinux 3. Additional info: Multiple bugs. Some pretty severe...
