Line 11 of kickstart.py contains 'isencypted=' but should be 'isencrypted' (no `='). The extraneous `=' causes the option to eat the password argument. --isencrypted is just a flag that doesn't take an argument. The workaround is to give --isencrypted a dummy argument in the kickstart file: rootpw --isencrypted WORKAROUND asdflkjasd Note that mkkickstart produces a kickstart file that doesn't work. Another issue: mykickstart output "mouse ps/2", but "ps/2" isn't a valid choice. "genericps/2" is the appropriate choice. Me thinks the 6.1 kickstart received woefully inadequate testing.

*** Bug 5637 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Doc says Should be lang en lang en_US rootpw --iscrypted blah rootpw --iscrypted extrablah blah @ C Development @ Development The rootpw bug is the worst, since it does not break into the debugger, it just prints an error that almost disappears from the screen before halting. Probably more that is wrong, but thats what I have found so far. The change to python seems to be a good idea though. ------- Additional Comments From jturner 10/20/99 16:09 ------- This issue has been assigned to a developer for further action.
