Description Chris Negus 2001-08-27 17:07:26 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.61 [en] (Win95; U)

Description of problem:
When I ran mkkickstart, several commands were set wrong. For the xconfig line the --server value contained a valiant effort to find the X 
driver, though not the driver itself. It read:

xconfig --server "/etc/X11/X: symbolic link to ../../usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86" ...

The other error I found in the output file from mkkickstart is that the lilo command was used instead of bootloader (which should load the 
GRUB boot loader by default).

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mkkickstart > /tmp/ks.cfg
2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  The ks.cfg file was created with the improper settings.

Expected Results:  Should have indicated the proper X server and bootloader.

Additional info:

I made those changes and a few others to suit my system. Apparently I did not get the partitioning commands right because when I ran "linux 
ks=floppy" to do the kickstart it blew away my MBR and installation failed. Bummer.
