Hi, I tried to install everything %packages --resolvedeps # @Minimal @Everything And it installs ok! So the problem is with the comps.xml file ?
redhat-config-kickstart was writing out bad kickstart configs. Minimal doesn't exist as a component, use Base instead. This is fixed in newer versions of redhat-config-kickstart
