The kickstart file excludes a number of OpenOffice.org packages. Package selection fails with the following: The failure is in line 1559 of kickstart.py, in setGroupSelection. I have tried twice to install via kickstart, with and without VNC, and both times it failed. The failure point is the same, s I doubt it is lack of memory. The manchine has 240 MB. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC4 Anaconda How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot to installation CD, using options to point to the kickstart file. 2. Wait. 3. Actual Results: Got the error described above. Expected Results: Sucessful package selection & installation. Additional info:

I was able to get a good installation by commenting out (prepending '# ' to each line) all of the excluded package names (-foo). I was then able to crash the installation by commenting back in '-slrn'.
