Supposedly :

I am getting the following error which esentially causes anaconda to bail out and stop my installation.
<check attachment>

I do have postgresql-python in my list so i will remove it and re-test.

However I find it strange because i have not specified any php packages. I assume those are provided somewhere in these @ bundles.
How can I check to make sure whats inside them?


Interesting ... after i commented out the postgresql stuff anaconda continued. Then it encountered issues with samba package.
I am attaching a screenshot.
I hope someone can help me to find the packages and in which bundle the samba package is described.THanks!

Pls take into account the fact that i dont have a machine already instaleld with this OS to logon and check what packages it has via
#yum grouplist
#yum whatprovides x

Whats in the ks.cfg file?

If you use packages from the installation media/official repositories (so no custom repositories) you shouldn't have any issues with conflicts.

The conflicts you show are because a package already claims the files while the packages you try to install have the same files in them.
