Description wjhendrickson 2013-09-12 16:42:28 UTC
Description of problem:

The Minimal Install installation option is not "auto-selected" when I specify the following in my kickstart file:

%packages --nobase
@ Minimal Install

Instead, it selects nothing particular on the left-hand side, and selects LibreOffice on the right (I assume these are the defaults).  Is there a way to specify, in the ks file, that I wish to use the Minimal Install method?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 19 i386 PXE install (using local LAN and DVD as source)
anaconda 19.30.13-1

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. specify in your ks file:
%packages --nobase
@ Minimal Install

2. begin the installation


Actual results:
In the software selection spoke, Minimal Install should be selected

Expected results:
Minimal Install IS selected


Additional info:
Using this in my ks file in F17 and earlier gets what I want (~200 pkgs):
%packages --nobase
@Core

Comment 1 David Shea 2013-09-12 17:02:04 UTC
"Minimal Install" is an environment group, which isn't supported in kickstart. The only group it lists (besides the optional groups) is core, so putting "@core" in your packages list will get you same set of packages.

The --nobase option is deprecated. The base package group is only added if it's requested, so you can remove that from your kickstart.
