Description of problem: I'm installing using a kickstart file, but there are a number of unexpected problems. 1) During installation, anaconda shows a dialog box stating that the package name samba-swat is unknown. I instruct anaconda to just ignore this package. 2) After installation a large number of gnome related packages are installed, even though I did not request that in the kickstart file. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: After installation, I'm able to manually install samba-swat, using the command: yum install samba-swat After installation, the following gnome-related packages are installed: [root@mij-6 mij]# rpm -q -a | grep gnome gnome-mime-data-2.18.0-2.fc7 libgnomecanvas-2.20.0-1.fc8 gnome-python2-2.20.0-1.fc8 gnome-keyring-2.20-1.fc8 nodoka-theme-gnome-0.3.2-1.fc8.1 libgnome-2.20.0-2.fc8 libgnomeui-2.20.0-1.fc8 gnome-mount-0.7-0.git20070725.1.fc8 gnome-python2-gconf-2.20.0-1.fc8 gnome-python2-gnomevfs-2.20.0-1.fc8 gnome-themes-2.20.0-1.fc8 bluez-gnome-0.14-5.fc8 gnome-vfs2-2.20.0-1.fc8 PolicyKit-gnome-0.6-0.git20070925.fc8 gnome-python2-canvas-2.20.0-1.fc8 gnome-python2-bonobo-2.20.0-1.fc8 Expected results: Since the package name in the kickstart file is correct, I expect anaconda to install it without complaints. Since I'm running Fedora as a headless server, I do not expect packages like nodoka-theme-gnome and gnome-themes etc. to be installed. Additional info: My kickstart file is attached.

(1) Please attach /var/log/anaconda* to this bug report so we can see what might be going on regarding samba-swat. (2) I'm pretty sure you are getting all those gnome-related packages because you asked to install the admin-tools group which includes many of the system-config-* packages, some of which have very complex library requirements. Most of the packages you listed are just providing libraries. The remainder are being pulled in as requirements of the first set.

Not only is samba-swat not found, but system-config-securitylevel-tui isn't either. Do these packages exist on your hard drive installation media?
Geez, I just checked, and the packages you mention are not there. I'm using Fedora-7.92-i386-DVD.iso as my hard drive installation media. So, I guess this is not a bug, unless those packages were meant to be present in the iso file. And I've removed the admin-tools group from the package selection in the kickstart file, and that eliminates a bunch of the gnome packages. The remaining ones are dependencies caused by the BlueTooth package bluez-utils. Once that package is removed (I don't need bluetooth support), a lot of supporting packages can be deleted: [root@mij-6 mnt]# rpm -e bluez-utils [root@mij-6 mnt]# rpm -e gnome-vfs2 gnome-mount libgnome NetworkManager-openvpn NetworkManager-vpnc PolicyKit-gnome libbonoboui libgnomeui gnome-vfs2-obexftp bluez-gnome It would be nice, if the bluez-utils package did not pull in all these gnome libraries, or alternatively, was not included by default in the "Base" group.
Your comment about bluez-utils is a comps problem, as it does all the grouping.
I'm not seeing where bluez-utils requires parts of the GNOME stack.
