Bug ID: 988328 Summary: RFE: some packages cannot be excluded using a kickstart file Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Component: install-guide Assignee: pbokoc@redhat.com Reporter: stephent98@hotmail.com QA Contact: docs-qa@lists.fedoraproject.org CC: oglesbyzm@gmail.com, pbokoc@redhat.com
Description of problem: The installer always installs some packages, so excluding them in a kickstart file has no effect.
Bug 988233 is from a user who wanted to remove "firewalld" from his install, yet it was installed anyway. The kickstart documentation does not explain why.
A workaround might be to use the post-installation section of the kickstart file to remove some packages.
Bug 988233 - Anaconda does not exclude certain packages specified in the kickstart configuration
