mention package groups as a parameter along with ks file?

[linux brainstack]

Hello Greg,

The corrected and working ks snip is below :

%packages --resolvedeps
@ Base
%include /tmp/packagelist
%pre
(
cat /proc/cmdline |awk -F "packages=" '{print $2}' |sed 's/,/\n/g'  >
/tmp/packagelist
) 2>&1 | tee -a /tmp/ks-pre.log


Key Points :
Specify %include  filename under %package section.

And under %pre you process and prepare the list that is to be passed under
%packages.

Hope this helps :)
