I note also that 'repo' lines aren't written to anaconda-ks.cfg; in this case, it was: repo --name=extras-devel --baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/development/i386/ Perhaps the use of an addtional repo is one reason the %packages is wrong?
I can't believe this made it into RHEL 5 with all the hype. This happened to me twice now on RHEL 5 installs. One desktop and one server. This is from my resulting kickstart: %packages @graphics That's bad. Not even @base is there!
notting - Is this better in the F7 test releases? I've done some fixes on this stuff.
This should now be better in all cases. ISO image install method %packages sections won't be written out correctly in test 4, but should be okay for final.

Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
Thank-you for the reply. I honestly believe that this was resolved. I checked w/ a FC8 installation and the kickstart file that was left behind appeared to be OK. If I determine that it was not resolved correctly, I will reopen a bug report. Thanks, again.
