Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2003-02-21 00:49:30 UTC
Can you attach the kickstart file?

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2003-02-23 23:04:44 UTC
It will happen on any kickstart config that has a langsupport line like
langsupport --default=en_US

Attached patch fixes

Not fixed in beta 5.  

Comment 6 Brent Fox 2003-03-14 16:35:33 UTC
Beta 5 contained redhat-config-kickstart-2.3.6-2.  The latest tree contains
redhat-config-kickstart-2.3.6-4, which should fix the problem.

Still a problem in the GM product.

Comment 8 bcling 2003-06-17 20:15:13 UTC
Note:

There are a bunch of inconsistencies in the GUI generated configuration file:

1. anaconda generated anaconda-ks.cfg includes "=" in --size=XXX
   GUI generated ks.cfg files do not have this
2. The GUI will REQUIRE "=" in --server and --dir settings
3. The GUI creates swap space with a --fstype entry but with no specified type.
   This prevents the kickstart file from being used during an install...

Failure to include the "=" in step 2 will prevent the GUI from opening the file.

Comment 9 Brent Fox 2003-07-10 03:34:01 UTC
bcl: please open a new bug with the problem you are seeing since it does not
appear to be related to the original bug reporter's issue.

Comment 10 Brent Fox 2003-07-10 03:56:03 UTC
I can not duplicate this problem with RHL 9.  If you are still seeing this
behavior, please reopen this bug and attach the kickstart file that
redhat-config-kickstart is crashing on.  Otherwise, I don't have a reproducible
test case.
