Hey, automatic bugzilla reporting in F18 seems to work :-) ! 

Do I have something in ks.cfg wrong now for F18?  I didn't select @Base there so I'm guessing that's something automatically selected?

Comment 17 Chris Lumens 2012-09-11 18:19:08 UTC
There's a couple things going on here:

(1) It got renamed to "Standard", not "Base".  That's fixed post-alpha.

(2) "Base" was always added to the set unless you used --nobase.  However with a patch from notting that is no longer the case and if you want the Standard group, you will need to include it.  It looks like from your kickstart file that your intention is probably to not get it, though I don't really know.

(3) You've never needed to specify the "Core" group.  You get that whether you want it or not.  But, specifying it doesn't hurt anything either.

I have added a release note for this, since I think it's going to catch a lot of people by surprise:

So if I wanted Standard, it won't be available until after alpha is released?

I didn't want Base in my test.  But it was apparently still referenced somewhere.  So, taking from your comment in (1) above, is that reference to Base removed in a version that will be supplied post-alpha?

Yeah, I forget that most of the time.

If you want standard, specify @standard in your kickstart.  That group exists now in the metadata.

If you don't want base now, use %packages --nobase.  After the alpha, this will no longer be necessary, nor will it do anything.
