<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m working on Kickstart scripts targeted towards RHEL 5/6/7 and I would like to make them all as portable and reusable as possible. I understand some options and flags were added in newer releases of Anaconda but I cannot find documentation
stating which options were added in which Anaconda version. A “works with RHEL {version}” would also help.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My current question is this, for package selection I would like to also install optional packages using the --optional parameter at <b>%packages --optional
</b>but for a RHEL6 installs Anaconda throws the error “<b>no such option: --optional</b>”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is the --optional parameter not available for RHEL6 installs?<o:p></o:p></p>
