Description Greg Morgan 2001-06-28 00:04:17 UTC
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

This isn't an anaconda problem...it's a documentation problem.

Thanks for catching this. I have fixed it for the next release.
