Description Martin Banas 2013-03-26 11:26:34 UTC 
Description of problem:
If I start kickstart installation, and do not specify url to the repository in kickstart, anaconda won't use mirrorlist. I'm sure this worked in F18, but now it only prints "Nothing selected". (see screenshot)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 19-Alpha-TC2
anaconda-19.13

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start installation with following kickstart file:
bootloader --location=mbr
zerombr
clearpart --all --initlabel
part / --fstype=ext4 --size=7000
rootpw redhat
graphical
timezone Europe/Prague
install
reboot
lang en_US
keyboard us

  
Actual results:
Anaconda complains that no installation source is selected.

Expected results:
Anaconda should use closest mirror as it does during manual installation.

Comment 9 Chris Lumens 2013-03-26 13:54:32 UTC 
If that's how it worked in F18, then F18 was wrong.  Kickstart installs should stop and prompt you for any information you did not provide.  Since you didn't provide any installation method, we need to ask you for one.  That's how all the other commands work.
Comment 10 Martin Banas 2013-03-26 14:08:08 UTC 
Is there something in kickstart file to specify closest mirror? I don't see anything on anaconda/kickstart wiki.
