From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020722 Description of problem: After the `detailed' views of package selections, the choices presented by redhat-config-kickstart seem extremely outdated. Any chance of getting them in sync with those offered by the interactive installer? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start an interactive install 2.Think: this is way cool, lemme just install this quickly then use redhat-config-kickstart to choose the packages carefully while I build some other stuff. 3.Complete the installation 4.Start redhat-config-kickstart Actual Results: Where are all those nice package-selection options available in anaconda? Expected Results: More of the look and feel of interactive installer in redhat-config-kickstart. Additional info:
I added the category headers and updated the package groups to match those of the installer. The problem is that you have to have a comps file to read all the package names and descriptions and to know which packages belong in each group. The comps file is in RedHat/base/comps.rpm on the CDs, but since it isn't part of the installer, we can't require it. We could use it if it is installed, and default to just the groups if in isn't. I'm not sure if we will get to this RFE for this release. Time is short.
