From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20030208 Netscape/7.02 Description of problem: When using a complex list of packages in a kickstart file, anaconda dies due to package selection problems. The anaconda-ks.cfg file is attached to this bug report. This file was copied verbatim from a previous interactive kickstart installation that generated the kickstart file (on FC4). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-10.2.1.5-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from FC4 RescueCD 2. At boot prompt: linux ks=http://192.168.0.150/Fedora4/anaconda-ks.cfg ksdevice=eth1 ip=192.168.0.200 netmask=255.255.0.0 gateway=192.168.255.254 dns=192.168.0.150 3. Actual Results: Installation ceased. Expected Results: Install should have proceeded normally - the package list being used is taken directly from the anaconda-ks.cfg file generated by a previous successful installation of fc4.
