I am new to kickstart file, but my understanding of the process is that I am supposed to be able to take the anaconda-ks-cfg file from the /root directory, copy it to an accessible location, and point the install disk to it, and it should reproduce the install I did originally. I used the 6.5 minimal install ISO, copied and renamed the ks.cfg. It is seen as a kickstart file, but it refuses to complete the install with the error message: ----------------------------------------------------- Unable to read package metadata. This may be due to a missing repodata directory. Please ensure that your install tree has been correctly generated. Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: CentOS ------------------------------------------------------ I read the kickstart file and found the Centos reference in the "repo" line, which the docs say is optional. I commented out that line, and the file works fine. I am guessing that this may be a capitalization mismatch? Or is there something I don't know? Do I need to do a bugzilla on this?
