Description Doug Chapman 2007-01-26 18:35:02 UTC

Description of problem:
Using an older kickstart file that has a "langsupport" line in it causes
anaconda to die.  It should handle this with a warning.


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 710, in <module>
    vncksdata = setVNCFromKickstart(opts)
  File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 279, in setVNCFromKickstart

I marked this command as deprecated in FC5, and since it's now two releases and
people have had plenty of time to see the warning, I have removed it.  If you
need to process kickstart files for pre-F7 releases, pykickstart does provide a
mechanism for that.
