Packages Not In CentOS 8

Hi all,

I am using kickstart to install CentOS 8. Course I started with my kickstart from 7.

Some packages are not found on the kickstart install (not present on the DVD I guess) like:
ImageMagick sox libogg-devel libssh2-devel

So again – I know they are not present on the DVD but they are present. What is the Kickstart trick to say %packages if not present – ATTEMPT to load later with yum ???

Is there such a thing for kickstart now with the new CentOS 8 structure ?
Thanks,

Jerry

One thought on - Packages Not In CentOS 8

  • In my kickstart (for CentOS 7) I use URL as source of installation, not DVD; like this:

    # Use CDROM installation media
    #cdrom url –url=http://bay.uchicago.edu/CentOS/7/os/x86_64

    (it points to public mirror I maintain here).

    I hope, this helps.
