Not as an argument, but just to mention (as I don't know how relevant it is). I switched to runlevel 3 (sorry for using old terminology...) in the postinstall kickstart section as follows: # blasted new way of setting default runlevel systemctl set-default multi-user.target So, after kickstart it indeed boots into runlevel 3 (i.e. systemctl command worked for me in postinstall section). Yet, first time booting (even into runlevel 3) gives me the same firstboot choices (TUI though instead of GUI that was in runlevel 5). Note, that this all was before I tried any of your suggestions (Thanks again, Tru, Gordon, and everybody else who replied!!)
