Further progress with this... Trying the "everything spin" gets a similar problem so it seems like installing ALL packages on either the default Fedora DVD or on the "everything spin" DOESN'T work. If you run through the installer(boot from the DVD) then you get the GUI interface that must only install a subset of packages(even if you click all types of installs) because it runs to completion. I haven't found any information on what is in a package cluster, so have had to resort to adding ALL packages singly and removing one of any pair of packages that conflict. If anyone can give a hint on how the kickstart packages section can be used (other than to list up to 8200 packages) I would appreciate it. (Haven't even got to the tailoring yet ) Thanks Pete -- This is an email sent via The Fedora Community Portal https://fcp.surfsite.org https://fcp.surfsite.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=222797&topic_id=47967&forum=26#forumpost222797 If you think, this is spam, please report this to webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and/or blame pete@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
