Description og 2011-06-02 22:42:26 UTC
Description of problem:
A kickstart installation using the intercative option fails

How reproducible:
Set up (and run) a kickstart config using the interactive option

Actual results:
Error message "Unknown command: interactive"

Expected results:
Perform an interactive kickstart installation

Additional info:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/15/html/Installation_Guide/s1-kickstart2-options.html lists interactive as optional. I admit that at this stage I do not know if the docs or anaconda is right.
AddOnQuestion: If anaconda is right, what's the alternative to debug kickstarts step-by-step?

Comment 1 Brian Lane 2011-06-02 23:48:16 UTC
interactive kickstart has been gone for quite a while now.

As far as debugging kickstarts, the logs are in /tmp/*log

Comment 2 Frantisek Hanzlik 2011-06-10 08:37:12 UTC
IMO 'interactive' option was/would be quite useful not for debugging, but for making installations based on some general kickstart file, and with this option help correct installed package set, change user name,  etc.
Very usefull it may be when doing install based on kickstart from previous Fedora version, as number of RPM packages significantly changes as Fedora evolves.
