Add the packages or package groups you want under the %packages directive in your kickstart template. Read through this and you'll get it: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart#Chapter_3._Package_Selection Package groups might have slightly different names depending on the distro you are installing. Run "yum grouplist | grep -i gnome" to find the right grouplist name to install Gnome. More than likely, you just need to add this: @GNOME Desktop Environment > #platform=x86, AMD64, or Intel EM64T > # System authorization information > auth --useshadow --enablemd5 > # System bootloader configuration > bootloader --location=mbr > # Partition clearing information > clearpart --all --initlabel > # Use text mode install > text > # Firewall configuration > firewall --enabled > # Run the Setup Agent on first boot > firstboot --disable > # System keyboard > keyboard us > # System language > lang en_US > # Use network installation > url --url=$tree > # If any cobbler repo definitions were referenced in the kickstart > profile, include them here. > $yum_repo_stanza > # Network information > $SNIPPET('network_config') > # Reboot after installation > reboot > > #Root password > rootpw --iscrypted $default_password_crypted > # SELinux configuration > selinux --enforcing > # Do not configure the X Window System > skipx > #xconfig --startxonboot > # System timezone > timezone America/New_York > # Install OS instead of upgrade > install > # Clear the Master Boot Record > zerombr > # Allow anaconda to partition the system as needed > autopart > > > %pre > $SNIPPET('log_ks_pre') > $kickstart_start > $SNIPPET('pre_install_network_config') > # Enable installation monitoring > $SNIPPET('pre_anamon') > > %packages > $SNIPPET('func_install_if_enabled') > > %post > $SNIPPET('log_ks_post') > # Start yum configuration > $yum_config_stanza > # End yum configuration > $SNIPPET('post_install_kernel_options') > $SNIPPET('post_install_network_config') > $SNIPPET('func_register_if_enabled') > $SNIPPET('download_config_files') > $SNIPPET('koan_environment') > $SNIPPET('redhat_register') > $SNIPPET('cobbler_register') > # Enable post-install boot notification > $SNIPPET('post_anamon') > # Start final steps > $kickstart_done > # End final steps > > Corey Garst -- Jeff Schroeder Don't drink and derive, alcohol and analysis don't mix. http://www.digitalprognosis.com _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
