I am installing as minimal of a set of packages as our internal requirements and dependancies allow, which ends up being about 608 packages if installed from a x86_64 only install tree. The second I point that same kickstart towards the standard install tree (which is provided via our satellite server and will be out production method), an additional 146 32bit packages are installed. So I'm trying to figure out how to exclude the i?86 packages during the %packages section of the kickstart.
i could have sworn I'd seen the answer to this before, but all the threads I've found looking for it today have been rather useless to me. I've looked around, and here are some highlights: https://fcp.surfsite.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=threaded&order=ASC&topic_id=28368&forum=11&move=next&topic_time=1161819614 https://fcp.surfsite.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=28406&forum=11 http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2007-April/037536.html http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2589 http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=126024 Possible solutions based on above: 1: remove it after the fact with yum or rpm (not an option with network install of over 400 systems). 2: explicitly state each and every package exactly as I want it (arch included) in the %packages section (seriously? no) Any hope that the anaconda team has added the "disable multilib" switch to anaconda like they discussed two years ago in one of those threads? Does anyone know any way to accomplish this? I could have sworn there was a glob that worked in the %packages section to remove it, but I tried multiple methods and they all failed. thanks -greg _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
