mention package groups as a parameter along with ks file ?

[linux brainstack]

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.

I tried the below stuff with no success.. Am i doing something wrong ?
Under %pre i added -

cat /proc/cmdline |awk -F "packages=" '{print $2}' |sed 's/,/\n/g'  >
/tmp/packagelist
%include  /tmp/packagelist


So this turns out like
If i specify
packages=@kde, at WEb Server"
Then /tmp/packagelist would have
@kde
@Web Server

But these groups are not installed.

Anaconda.cfg has
%packages --resolvedeps
grub
kernel-smp
e2fsprogs
lvm2

%post


Any clues ?

Thanks !
