I've experienced the same bug with kickstart over NFS in Redhat 8.0, forcing me to install by hand. There's no point in having a 'kickstart' program if it doesn't work. I add the first few lines of my anaconda dump: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 694, in ? intf.run(id, dispatch, configFileData) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 446, in run dispatch.gotoNext() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 150, in gotoNext self.moveStep() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 215, in moveStep rc = apply(func, self.bindArgs(args)) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/packages.py", line 121, in readPackages id.instClass.setGroupSelection(id.comps) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py", line 1119, in setGroupSelection comps[n].select() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/comps.py", line 580, in __getitem__ return self.compsDict[key] KeyError: Minimal Thanks for your prompt attention.
