My fault then. As for %include, I'm not surpised other things use it. Cobbler uses it. Anaconda include requires action in %pre to generate the file to include. This can either be from a wget or a here doc, etc. You can't include %include http:// URLs directly. --Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
