Anaconda install groups vs yumgroups?
 

Hi,

In looking at the C6 installer there are several types of installs listed.
In the past I could do an install and anaconda would tell me what yumgroups
it installed via the anaconda.cfg that was dropped in /root.

with c6 anaconda still drops this file but none of the yumgroups are listed.

Is there a way to determine what yumgroups a particular install group installs?

For instance if I do a server install which groups actually get installed?

I am thinking there is something in the anaconda source but so far I am
unable to find it and Google is not useful.

Is this info listed anywhere?

Regards,

This is driven by comps.xml. There is no magic behind. yum grouplist
lists all available and installed groups (sorted)

PS: please stick with centos rather than -devel for questions like these.

Switching the list to centos as requested.

This does not appear to be true. If it was I would not have posted at all
or maybe I am just confused.

For example, in anaconda there is an install group called "Minimal Desktop"
If I look in the comps.xml in the centos repo there is no such group.
There is also a Minimal group that does not appear in comps.

All I am trying to do is understand the relationship between the groups
listed in anaconda and in comps.xml.

Does anaconda use a different comps.xml?

Btw. if you mean the default Anaconda installation templates like
Desktop, Minimal Desktop ... they are hard-coded:

+ tasks = [(N_("Desktop"),

"internet-browser", "office-suite",

I'm surprised that list doesn't exist in a form that you could cut from a web
page and paste into a yum command line easily. It would be much easier to get a
machine running with ssh and yum available, then make these decisions from the
comfort of another desktop.

Just waiting for you to do, Les. People who want that will thank you for
it. You can make a web page, right?
