My guess is that you have duplicate repositories configured for yum. One from the default distro and the other from Spacewalk. I like do a "yum -v repolist | grep url" when investigating where / what my repos are pointing at. As for the discrepancy between what is installed from a default DVD install vs. your kickstart, I suppose you *might* be able to find a sample package list on the DVD that is used but I'm completely speculating at this point. Instead, I would just focus on what you really want to have installed and just continue to update your own package list. -- Jon Miller _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
