https://pykickstart.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kickstart-docs.html#chapter-4-pre-installation-script According to kickstart documentation %pre and %pre-install should work. appliance-tools-009.0-7.fc31.noarch However appliance-creator of Fedora 30 and 31 both seem to ignore %pre and %pre-install. %pre-install --erroronfail #!/bin/bash exit 1 %end %pre --erroronfail #!/bin/bash exit 1 %end By the documentation these are supposed to cause an immediate abort. But appliance-creator is clearly not recognizing the %pre's. I tried putting it at the very end of the kickstart file like the documentation says to do.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
