Description of problem: In the Pacakge Selection section of the 6.0 install guide (32.5) it describes the unsupported @everything option. Neither the ISOs nor satellite channels have @everything.
There is much more wrong with section 32.5 of the installation doc. Here is a list: 1) As stated above, there is no '@everything' group, so instead of stating: Warning — @Everything is not supported maybe it should read: Warning — @Everything is no longer included 2) The doc also covers using a (variant) after the @Conflict when using the @everything. "Packages known to cause such problems are assigned to the @Conflicts (variant) group, where variant is Server or Client. If you specify @Everything in a kickstart file, be sure to exclude @Conflicts (variant) or the installation will fail: @Everything (Server) -@Conflicts" The example given though shows the variant next to @everything instead of @conflict. Very confusing. 3) Is the '*' also not supported? Unlike the @everything group, the glob still pulls everything down. The glob is also not included in the BOLD font at the top as not being supported, but is mentioned below that: "You can use a kickstart file to install every available package by specifying @Everything or simply * in the %packages section. Red Hat does not support this type of installation." I realize this is just semantics, but is the '*' supported or not by Red Hat? When I have asked people involved in the anaconda engineering group this question, I was informed "@Everything" is deprecated in favor of the more generic glob mechanism, "*". " Can we please update the doc to give the user a straightforward answer as to what is and what is not supported.
