Hi DTK, Thanks for your feedback. Since we will be administrating all nodes deployment therefore my team concluded that we will not support group-installs. All packages will be explicitly listed in the %packages section. - David <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 3, 2011 at 7:59 PM, <<a href="mailto:root@nachtmaus.us">root@nachtmaus.us</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> Remember, in the ks, you can specify group-installs, and dependancies should be resolved, so the number of packages in the ks will typically tend to be low. Instead, look for specific marker packages to be installed, such as kernel, or your standard userspace, or service-specific packages (apache, if it is a web-server; dovecot, if it is a mail/groupware server; local application package, etc) and send a syslog message/snmp trap/MQ message when you see one of these markers. -DTK Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile -----Original Message----- From: Chun Tat David Chu <<a href="mailto:beyonddc.storage@gmail.com">beyonddc.storage@gmail.com</a>> Sender: <a href="mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@redhat.com">kickstart-list-bounces@redhat.com</a> Date: Tue, 3 May 2011 17:34:43 To: <<a href="mailto:kickstart-list@redhat.com">kickstart-list@redhat.com</a>> Reply-To: Discussion list about Kickstart <<a href="mailto:kickstart-list@redhat.com">kickstart-list@redhat.com</a>> Subject: Monitoring kickstart install status _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list <a href="mailto:Kickstart-list@redhat.com">Kickstart-list@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list</a> _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list <a href="mailto:Kickstart-list@redhat.com">Kickstart-list@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list</a> </blockquote></div>
