Description of problem: When building a kickstart install file, it appears impossible to install GNOME without installing KDE also. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time we create or edit the kickstart file and then perform a network install, KDE is installed despite not being selected as an installed component. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create kickstart file to install GNOME desktop but NOT KDE 2. Install OS using this kickstart file (we're doing a network boot and then FTP install) Actual results: Several KDE components are installed (kdebase, kdelibs and some others that I can't remember at the moment) Expected results: Expect full install of GNOME and zero install of KDE. Additional info: The bogey rpm seems to be desktop-printing which requires KDE for some reason. desktop-printing is part of the GNOME Desktop group and part of the KDE Desktop group.
Perhaps have the wrong component here. I don't think that redhat-config-kickstart can do anything about the problem. Is it more a fault of the actual desktop-printing rpm or the comps.xml file?
I agree this is filed on the incorrect component - reassigning to desktop-printing
