Description of problem: If I start kickstart installation, and do not specify url to the repository in kickstart, anaconda won't use mirrorlist. I'm sure this worked in F18, but now it only prints "Nothing selected". (see screenshot) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 19-Alpha-TC2 anaconda-19.13 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start installation with following kickstart file: bootloader --location=mbr zerombr clearpart --all --initlabel part / --fstype=ext4 --size=7000 rootpw redhat graphical timezone Europe/Prague install reboot lang en_US keyboard us Actual results: Anaconda complains that no installation source is selected. Expected results: Anaconda should use closest mirror as it does during manual installation. Additional info:

If that's how it worked in F18, then F18 was wrong. Kickstart installs should stop and prompt you for any information you did not provide. Since you didn't provide any installation method, we need to ask you for one. That's how all the other commands work.
Is there something in kickstart file to specify closest mirror? I don't see anything on anaconda/kickstart wiki.
