excluding Office Suite installation in kick start

Post by vehmaa » 2016/03/17 12:49:18

Hi,

I have at the end of %packages section following:

Code: Select all

%packages
.
....
-@office-suite
%end
...but still Libre Office is installed into the system. The both full group name or group id should be valid here to refer to goup? How can I really block Office Suite installation in my kick start?

Br,
Jari

Code: Select all

-libreoffice*
maybe?

How about this?

Code: Select all

yum grouplist -v | grep -i office
Pick the group name that you need to exclude?

Hi,

I have tried that some time ago and I got feeling that it does not work either.

Are you sure that one of your selected packages is not pulling in the libreoffice ones?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

You could try a groupremove and see if it then wants to remove something you need.

Hi,

Office-suite group is defined as optional in some other groups. Is it safe just to edit comps.xlm and remove office-suite?

Probably not. There are all sorts of checks on the install media to make sure it is as it should be and is not damaged.
