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. :) On Mon, Jan 13, 2014 at 11:37 AM, Darod Zyree <darodzyree at gmail.com> wrote: > On Sun, 2014-01-12 at 22:20 +0000, Karanbir Singh wrote: > > On 01/12/2014 10:10 PM, Darod Zyree wrote: > > > 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. > > > > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos >
