One suggestion -- when I deployed the ks-minimalC6.cfg, there were still some -firmware packages that got installed and were not removed by the kickstart process. I noticed that you explicitly remove various firmware packages by name with the '-' notation. Another approach would be to remove them all programmatically in a %post section, like this: %post rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep -i \\-firmware | grep -v kernel-firmware) That way, you don't have to specify each one by hand, and have to keep track of them if a new one shows up in a future release. It also makes the kickstart file smaller. It's unlikely that an RPM that matches "-firmware" is going to be relevant to a VM, so it seems like a fairly safe approach. Just a suggestion. -Kartik
