Hi,
How about using rpm to see what extra packages are installed then we may be able to work out why.
Perform a Manual install and save the result of rpm -qa | sort, then run your KickStart based installed and run the same command. A diff between the two results should show whats extra packages are being installed. :)

Hi,
Does anyone know why an Anaconda Kickstart installation deploys more
rpm
packages than a manual "basic" installation?
In both cases the following package groups were installed/used
according
to anaconda-ks.cfg in root home directory: @core, @server-policy, @workstation-policy
what ones are more or which ones are missing ?
also compare the anaconda-ks.cfg left behind on both attempts, are you sure the %packages section looks identical ?
My kickstart installation does 397 RPM packages. A manual installation does 217 RPM packages.
My kickstart installation uses only an OS repository; no updates, epel or anything like that for this test.
This repository was created using rsync and centos 6.5 iso.
Kickstart package list: %packages @core @server-policy @workstation-policy
Which is the same as choosing the "minimal" installation type during manual anaconda as shown in the /root/anaconda-ks.cfg file after the manual installation is completed.
