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
"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. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1002942 ***
