Garrick and all,
I'm using Kickstart as well. Would you mind to attach the packages selection section of your kickstart configuration file?
My package selection section is attached below, would you mind to have a look?
--David
%packages # 'base' and 'core' are always selected, here we just specified explicitly @base @core @system-tools
-bluez-hcidump -bluez-gnome -bluez-libs -bluez-utils -ccid ## Generic USB CCID smart card reader driver -coolkey ## Linux Driver support for the CoolKey and CAC products. -pcmciautils -wpa_supplicant
-ppp -rp-pppoe -arptables_jf ## Userspace control program for the arptables network filter -dhcpv6_client ## DHCPv6 client -finger -gpm -microcode_ctl -NetworkManager -oddjob -oddjob-libs -prelink -rdate -rsh -talk -zisofs-tools -samba-client -samba-common

Hi,
Has any one know how to skip ix86 packages from installation in Centos kickstart? Most of our
machines
have 64bit Intel/AMD CPUs, and it make non-sense
to
still keep 32bit compatibility. Even worse of i*86 packages is, when upgrade we have to recompile
both
ix86 version and x86_64 version to get an
automatic
yum upgrade.
I know we could use 'exclude' option to exclude
i*86
packages from yum calculation/upgrade; But, if
this
can be extended to kickstart?
Thanks a lot.
That's funny. I never get 32bit packages on my kickstarted x86_64 boxes. I have to install them seperately on %post.
