Kickstart hangs when removing sendmail

[Chris Mckenzie]

Thanks Phil.

- Definitely indefinitely? Or just a really long time?

Never comes back. I've waited as long as 20 minutes.

- Why not exclude sendmail from the package list in the kickstart file?

I didn't. Most probably included as part of a RH package I most definately
didn't expect to include a sendmail dep, or anaconda insists on installing
it despite not including it.

- ps/pstree on the Alt+F2 VT should show at which point the thing's hung

Don't know if it'll help.

- rpm has various verbose/debugging flags which should help pin it down

I'll have to take a closer look. Maybe I can get more out of rpm after all.

Thanks.

- Chris
