From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: Can the %PRE section of a kickstart file define the %PACKAGES section. The only way I cando this is to replace the /tmp/ks.cfg on the RAM drive during the installation The %include does not work within the %PACKAGES section. Can %PACKAGES have a --fromfile= option, as this would allow the %PRE script to copy/create the required filename. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ALL How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Try putting packages outside of the %PACKAGES section 2.Try using %include within the PACKAGES section 3. Actual Results: Kickstart / Anaconda halts with package errors. Expected Results: Wish to be able to change the package selection from with the %PRE section Additional info: I think this should be a Request for Enhancement but can't seem to find the place to do this. Sorry if I upset anyone.
Anaconda in Rawhide allows you to use %include in the %packages section, and you can generate this included file from the %pre.
