RHEL5.4 rpm file not loading from kickstart file


I have been using a boot disk with a kickstart file that calls rpm files that are on RHEL4.8. The rpm files
tk-devel,tcl-devel,nss-devel and nspr-devel respond back during the install of RHEL5.e with a pop-up saying they do not exist,but when I look on the RHEL5.4 DVD they do exist in the Workstation directory.

This is the packages section of my kickstart file:

%packages --resolvedeps
@admin-tools
@base
@core
@development-libs
@development-tools
@dialup
@editors
@gnome-desktop
@gnome-software-development
@graphical-internet
@graphics
@java
@java-development
@kde-desktop
@legacy-software-development
@legacy-software-support
@office
@printing
@ruby
@sound-and-video
@system-tools
@text-internet
@x-software-development
@base-x
kexec-tools
fipscheck
sgpio
emacs
libgnome-java
libgtk-java
kdegraphics
libsane-hpaio
kdepim
kdemultimedia
festival
audit
xorg-x11-server-Xnest
xorg-x11-server-Xvfb
sysstat
nspr
nspr-devel
nss
nss_db
nss_ldap
nss-devel
nss-tools
tk
tk-devel
tcl
tcl-devel

This works fine for RHEL4.8

Are those packages in the software list when installing rhel5.4 manually? If so and you've actually installed those packages during a manual install, how did they look in the anaconda file from that install? Maybe those particular packages, being located in the workstation directory as opposed to the Server directory on the dvd, are listed differently in the cfg file in RHEL5.4 than than they are in RHEL4.8. I can't remember at the moment but I think RHEL5 does it's packages in groups rather than individually as seen in rhel4. Otherwise, you can setup and EOF script in your cfg file that installs it. I use that to set services and setup passwordless ssh. If interested respond and I'll get on and share tomorrow when I'm at work.

Cheers,
Nik
