[Spacewalk-list] kick-start not completing groups

[The PowerTool]

I am currently running Spacewalk 1.9 on Fedora 18.  I can provide more detail on this, as necessary.

I have kickstart setup and I can install systems from kickstart with some success.  I have noticed that when I install from kickstarts it seems that groups are not completely installed.  I'll show examples and would appreciate any trouble-shooting pointers.  I'm wondering if I missed something when configuring my Spacewalk server.  Thanks!

(please see questions at bottom)

* so isn't this incomplete?

I know it says the list of packages is "optional" but if I install from DVD libre-office is installed by default.

I am trying to figure out the difference between the packages on the default install (from DVD) and my kickstart.

Also, what's with the error:  Failed to retrieve group file for repository: fedora18-x86-64 -- I did try some basic Google searches but with absolutely no success.

Thanks, again!
