Trying to figure out how to set up a kickstart %packages section for SL7.
If I put in a group to be installed that includes a package I don't want to install what's the proper way to set that up?
My tests so far haven't revealed a good solution. It seems like if I specify a group, but them exclude a package that is in that group the whole group gets excluded.
For instance, I want @gnome-desktop-environment to be installed it will pull in the @internet-browser group which includes firefox. I don't want the firefox package to be installed. I added "-firefox" so it would be excluded but the test I did seemed to have excluded @gnome-desktop-environment.
How do I get the desktop without the firefox package. I suppose I could figure out all the different packages I want and include them by package name instead of the group but that seems like a lot of extra work in the kickstart.
