I realize that the @everything packages option is now gone in CentOS 5.0 (ix86 and x86_64), but my experiments to date don't show how to practically simulate the same effect (and I have a good reason for doing so). I want all packages, all languages. If one installs from CD, and selects all packages and options, the resulting anaconda-ks.cfg file does not have a complete package list.
Since you can now add additional repositories at install time, how do you define 'everything' install?
- performing a kickstart install using the package list from the
full-install-from-CD anaconda-ks.cfg results in a system with only about a third of the available packages, missing some notables such as openssl.
That should be pulled in as a dependency to just about everything.
So, how do I determine the proper full package list to use in the %packages section for a kickstart install? Do I have to go grubbing around in comps.xml to find the proper package list? TIA,
Probably.
