    Kickstart missing seclected packages on install

    I am trying to use kickstart to create a master boot disk for all of my server installs. Unfortunately it seems to be missing some of the packages specified and I can't figure out why. Here is the packages section of my ks.cfg file

    Note: all at symbols have been replaced with # because the forum filter seems to think they are urls.

    %packages
    #admin-tools
    #base
    #core
    #dns-server
    #development-libs
    #development-tools
    #dialup
    #editors
    #emacs
    #ftp-server
    #gnome-desktop
    #games
    #graphical-internet
    #graphics
    #java
    #java-development
    #legacy-network-server
    #legacy-software-development
    #legacy-software-support
    #mail-server
    #mysql
    #network-server
    #news-server
    #office
    #printing
    #server-cfg
    #sound-and-video
    #system-tools
    #text-internet
    #web-server
    #smb-server
    #x-software-development
    #base-x
    keyutils
    kexec-tools
    iscsi-initiator-utils
    trousers
    fipscheck
    device-mapper-multipath
    perl-Convert-ASN1
    python-imaging
    imake
    java-1.6.0-openjdk
    emacs
    emacs-nox
    gnuplot-emacs
    libsane-hpaio
    mod_auth_mysql
    php-mysql
    vnc-server
    festival
    audit
    php-odbc
    tomcat5-admin-webapps
    php-pear
    mod_auth_kerb
    tomcat5-webapps
    mod_nss
    mod_auth_pgsql
    mod_auth_mysql
    mod_authz_ldap
    tomcat5
    php-mysql
    php-pgsql
    mod_revocator
    mesa-libGLU-devel
    xorg-x11-server-Xnest
    xorg-x11-server-Xvfb

    It installs everything except #base and #development-tools. Any ideas as to why it leaves these out?

    Figured out the problem. There is apparently a bug with the gui because add/remove programs did not show the files as being installed but the install log shows them as being installed. Lesson: check the install log to see packages that have been installed rather than looking in the gui
