Or just a really long time? Never comes back. I've waited as long as 20 minutes. - Why not exclude sendmail from the package list in the kickstart file? I didn't. Most probably included as part of a RH package I most definately didn't expect to include a sendmail dep, or anaconda insists on installing it despite not including it. - ps/pstree on the Alt+F2 VT should show at which point the thing's hung Don't know if it'll help. - rpm has various verbose/debugging flags which should help pin it down I'll have to take a closer look. Maybe I can get more out of rpm after all. Thanks. - Chris -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-bounces@redhat.com [<A HREF="mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@redhat.com">mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@redhat.com</A>] On Behalf Of Philip Rowlands Sent: January 27, 2005 11:09 PM To: Discussion list about Kickstart Subject: Re: Kickstart hangs when removing sendmail On Thu, 27 Jan 2005, Chris Mckenzie wrote: >Hi all. > >My kickstart occasionally hangs indefinitely intermittedly when from my >%post I call: > > rpm -e sendmail - Definitely indefinitely?
