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

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
