Since neither anaconda nor system-config-kickstart can give a list of all packages that has been installed, waht is the recommended way to replicate one system for another new installation (without using hd cloning) ?
Is it possible to simply do 'rpm -qa >> my-ks.cfg' ?
When running anaconda installer, it gives system selection as well as package grouping (desktop vs server -> gnome vs kde -> gnome-pilot etc), which file provides these info?
You can use kickstart to control what packages are installed.
/root/install.log has the details of what packages are installed by anaconda.
Yes, it is same like running rpm-qa. After doing it myself, it can be done by listing 'rpm -qa' under %packages in ks.cfg, however there are still differences, maybe due to dependencies:
[me@localhost ~]$ wc -l old_system.pkg new_system.pkg 707 old_system.pkg 733 new_system.pkg 1440 total
