Again, I'm talking about the install image itself, not the package set. Previously, I could run virt-what from %pre in a kickstart because the executable was included in the installer runtime (LiveOS/squashfs.img), but now it is not. -- Chris Adams ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Our DVD package list gets remastered to stay less than 4.3 GB, and we want 'repo closure' and < 4.3 GB, and anything that can be selected from the 'GUI Installer' for a normal install. If you need things that fall outside those conditions, then an Everything ISO on something bigger than 4.3 GB DVD(a thumbdrive, etc.) is the way to go. There is only so much space on a DVD. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

This is in the installer itself, specifically in the %pre section of a kickstart file (to determine which packages to install). You can't just "yum install virt-what" there. -- Chris Adams ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] CentOS 7.2 installer missing virt-what
In previous CentOS releases, virt-what was included in the install image. This made it easy for me to spin a custom ISO with my package set and a kickstart that would add open-vm-tools or ovirt-guest-agent as appropriate (when installing the respective guest environments). I updated my ISO to 7.2, and virt-what is nowhere to be found. I assume this is copied from RHEL; anybody know any explanation? For now, I'm falling back to matching strings in /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name. Is there some better way to determine what (if any) virtual environment the installer is running under? -- Chris Adams ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
