Hello all,

I am hoping someone can help me with this.  I am trying to separate  
my %packages list into a different file using the %include  
directive.  I am finding that no matter what I try, the install  
aborts due to not being able to see the packages file.  Hhere si the  
set up:

I build the linux computers via http, typing this at the boot prompt:

linux ks=http://10.10.10.52/ks.cfg

This points the install to the kickstart config which is located here  
on my webserver:

/var/build/linux/ks.cfg

Also in that directory is 'packages'

/var/build/linux/packages

In the kickstart file I have tried all of these and none have worked:

%include packages
%include ./packages
%include /var/build/linux/packages
%include http://10.10.10.52/packages

Could someone give me some pointers on the syntax?  Thanks!
