Hi All,

We have a system running on Fedora core 6 operating system. I use system-config-kickstart graphic tool to generate a ks.cfg file for upgrading our current system. Actually I don't want to upgrade anything for Fedora core 6, what I want is to upgrade some of our system's files  by making  use of  kickstart configurator.

My ks.cfg file generated by system-config-kickstart is as follows:

#platform=x86, AMD64, or Intel EM64T
# System bootloader configuration
bootloader --location=mbr

# Use text mode install
text

# System keyboard
keyboard us

# System language
lang en_US

# Use CDROM installation media
cdrom

# Network information
network --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth0 --onboot=on

# Reboot after installation
reboot

#Root password
rootpw --iscrypted $1$806Or3vI$FL6Bm22KMtKZ3FTfq8j8Y.

# System timezone
timezone  America/New_York

# Upgrade existing installation
upgrade

# System authorization information
auth  --useshadow  --enablemd5

# Firewall configuration
firewall --enabled --http

................ (our script follows here to cppy some new files into system)


I included this ks.cfg into my installation DVD. This DVD is a customized Fedora core 6 installation DVD with our ks.cfg, isolinux.cfg and our files on it, the rest of files are the same as FC6 installation DVD, except that I removed all the files in RPM directory, for I don't need them for upgrading.

 After the upgrade finishes and system reboots, I  tried to login into gnome GUI, several error boxes showed up: saying that:

An error occured while loading or saving configuration information for Nautilus. some of your configuration settings may not work properly.
An error occured while loading or saving configuration information for gnome-settings-daemon. some of your configurations settings may not work properly.
no gconfd located: no such file or directory.
Gconf schema installer error.


Can any one tell me what's wrong with my kickstart file???


any feedback will be highly appreciated.
