ok. i like to install on el5:
base-x
gnome-desktop
while on el6:
x11
basic-desktop
how can i do this with the same kickstart file (ie. the same group our
package list)? i think i create a new group for el5 and el6 which
includes different group from basic el5 and el6 groups and then simple
add that group.
is there any other way/tip?
