Operating Systems Linux Redhat AS 3.0 Kickstart file issue Post 54881 by TioTony on Thursday 26th of August 2004 11:34:41 PM

You have a lot of packages listed in the updated copy of the cfg file. Maybe they just take up a lot of space. I rarely install systems that don't have @everything since typically disk space is not an issue for me, especially if it is only a few GB.

The only advice I can offer is to do the install manually and select the packages you want. Once the install is complete you can login and look at /root/anaconda-ks.cfg. This is basically a kickstart file generated from the interactive install. I use this to base my kickstart files when a new version or feature comes out (it was really helpful to setup LVM on RAID with kickstart). There are definitely differences between the 2.1 and 3.0 %packages section, but I don't know what they are.

NAME
debuginfo-install - install debuginfo packages and their dependencies SYNOPSIS
debuginfo-install package DESCRIPTION
debuginfo-install is a program which installs the RPMs needed to debug the specified package. The package argument can be a wildcard, but will only match installed packages. debuginfo-install will then enable any debuginfo repositories, and install the relevant debuginfo rpm. EXAMPLES
Download and install all the RPMs needed to debug the kernel RPM: debuginfo-install kernel WARNING MESSAGES
Could not find debuginfo for: You may sometimes see warning messages about certain packages not being found if you run debuginfo-install for a wildcard or glob. Debuginfo packages are not necessary for "noarch" RPMs; these will generate a warning message. Additionally, On 64-bit systems, no multilib debuginfo packages are published, so if you have 32-bit packages installed, these will also generate warning messages. FILES
As debuginfo-install uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM configuration for its default values like which repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details: /etc/yum.conf /etc/yum/repos.d/ /var/cache/yum/ SEE ALSO
yum.conf (5) http://yum-utils.baseurl.org/ http://yum.baseurl.org/ AUTHORS
See the Authors file included with this program. BUGS
There are of course no bugs, but should you find any, you should first consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq and if unsuccessful in finding a resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org. To file a bug use http://bugzilla.redhat.com for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs. James Antill 21 October 2008 debuginfo-install(1)
