Description JB Segal 2007-07-09 21:54:18 UTC

Description of problem:
auto-generated ks.cfg contains useless package list. I need a real one.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
completely

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a new RHEL5 system, modifying the list of installed packages by hand.
2. Look at the auto-generated /root/anaconda-ks.cfg, to use in the next install.
  
Actual results:
%packages
@editors


Expected results:
Something more like what I got with RHEL4:
%packages --resolvedeps
@ editors
@ emacs
@ system-tools
@ dialup
@ ftp-server
@ emacs
@ server-cfg
@ development-tools
kernel-smp
-bluez-pin
e2fsprogs
lvm2
-httpd-manual
 . . .


Additional info:
This isn't at all useful for actually reproducing a build using kickstart.

Failing a fix, a good answer for how to correctly generate that section of the
ks.cfg after a system's installed would be really useful.
