From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: The sample.ks file provided on the Redhat Documentation CD could cause a newbie a few wasted hours. The sample file uses the wrong style of single quotes around /bin/date. Currently ks.sample is using the ', apostrophe, or single quote character like so '/bin/date'. The sample file should be using the `, ascii 96, the back quote like so `/bin/date` to execute a command. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.cp /mnt/cdrom/samle.ks ks.cfg 2.vi ks.cfg 3.Add to a boot disk 4.Test with a boot disk: linux ks=floopy Actual Results: Kickstart-installed Red Hat Linux /bin/date is found in the output file found in /tmp. Expected Results: Kickstart-installed Red Hat Linux Wed Jun 27 16:39:43 MST 2001 Additional info:
This isn't an anaconda problem...it's a documentation problem.
Thanks for catching this. I have fixed it for the next release.
