This also affects apt-get: above a certain number of packages to be installed at the same time, the installation hangs.
e.g. apt-get install pkg1 pkg2 pkg3 ... pkgn I'm not sure where the cut off is. However, it's easy to hit the limit and that makes it hard to use kickstart for setting up a full-blown workstation. Since it also affects apt-get, that makes it impossible to do a single command install after startup. Breaking it up over several commands works, but introduces problems if one is customizing the configurations of packages allong the way. -- Unknown maximum list size in kickstart's ks.cfg %packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/135284 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
