Description Nathaniel Graham 2002-03-13 18:55:32 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)

Description of problem:
A kickstart installation fails when anaconda attempts to parse the %package 
section of the kickstart script.  The script is on the boot floppy, which is 
otherwise a standard network boot floppy for RH7.2

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Attempt installation
2.Watch installation fail
	

Actual Results:  Installation failed when anaconda began reading the package 
list.
Anaconda allowed me to save the current system state to a floppy.

Expected Results:  The installation should have proceded.

Additional info:

I've put the relevent info (kickstart script & anacdump) on my
webpage.

Your packages section contains a package "faq" which does not exist in Red Hat
Linux 7.2
