[Fedora-livecd-list] fc7 revisor re-spinned install CD failed to install 3rd party packages

[jie sun]

Hi,
   I did not change comps but I used kickstart file to include my rpms and all my packages gets included on the CD. The problem is after installation with the CD, non of my packages get installed. Seems only fedora packages gets installed.

Regards,
Jie

Did you see the third party packages appear in the Package Selection 
dialog in the graphical installation? The third party repository would 
need a comps ("Groups" file) to enable anaconda to display the groups 
and packages in the package selection dialog. If not, you are not able 
to select them in any other way then using a kickstart (sample):

interactive

%packages
some-third-party-repo-package
%end

This will select the package, but will still enable you to use the 
package selection dialog to select other packages as well.

Kind regards,
