Hi,
I am working on a Xfce spin of Fedora available at
http://sundaram.fedorapeople.org/livecd-fedora-8-xfce.ksa which as you
can see inherits the base desktop kickstart file which removes wget. I
have been trying to add it back in my kickstart file but wget is not in
the image created by livecd-creator. I have been able to reproduce this
consistently.
Seth Vidal on IRC commented that urlgrabber would serve the same purpose
as wget and of course curl is also there but regardless of value of wget
in the Xfce spin, this seems to be a bug that I can't add back packages
that are removed in the base kickstart file I am inheriting from. Comments?
FWIW attached is a simple script I put together to use pykickstart to
generate a monolithic kickstart file from a multi-file (include-using)
kickstart file. It may shed some light on what pykickstart is doing
under the covers...
basic usage: ksmono-izer --output=out.ks input.ks
