RE: not enough disk space on "/" (multiple part instructions)

I am having a simular problem. I had a kickstart config that worked fine with RH 7.2. When I try to use it with RH 7.3 it fails to load the RPM's as there is not enough space in the '/' partion. For me the magic number is 783M. It does not matter how I lay out my partions it always complains that I need 783M more in my root partion. If I remove all part statements from my kickstart config, then in that case it asks me how I want things setup (as far as partions are concerned) and after giving it that information it works. Simply reducing my partitions to / and swap in the kickstart file does not help. Before anyone asks, I have verified that there is indeed enough space. I have tried to look in the anaconda packages.py code (which is where the error is printed), but fond that it is getting the ammount of space needed from the rpm python library in the run method. This is a compiled library it appears, so I have not found the source for it yet. The bottom line is the part statement for the original poster and for myself does not seem to work correctly. Has anyone seen this behavior with 7.3. How should it be fixed? ...james

Can kickstart be configured to auto-check for dependancies and install them as well?

Hi I'm using Redhat 6.2 and created a ks.cfg. httpd gave an error problem when starting up. Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 248 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/libphp3.so into server: libttf.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [FAILED] I checked for libttf.so.2 in rpmfind.net and found this rpm to have this file: freetype-1.3.1-5 Then I realized that there maybe other rpms that have been installed without checking for dependencies. Is this true? If yes, is there an option in kickstart to do a dependancy check for all rpms and then auto-install them as well? I've attached my ks.cfg if helps in anyway. Regards Rishi ks.cfg Description: Binary data

It does appear to be clean but nothing that would act like a road map to tell you what they are actually trying to do at any given place in the code. Most annoying....james >
