Hi, Thanks for your reply. I tried the below stuff with no success.. Am i doing something wrong ? Under %pre i added - <pre>cat /proc/cmdline |awk -F "packages=" '{print $2}' |sed 's/,/\n/g' > /tmp/packagelist %include /tmp/packagelist</pre> So this turns out like If i specify packages=@kde,@WEb Server" Then /tmp/packagelist would have @kde @Web Server But these groups are not installed. Anaconda.cfg has %packages --resolvedeps grub kernel-smp e2fsprogs lvm2 %post Any clues ?
