Anaconda bug with minimal install with 6.6

[OuldeFauder]

A minimal install does not produce iptables in sysconfig. Redhat has a fix for this.

Documented in the following knowledge article:

No /etc/sysconfig/iptables after RHEL 6.6 minimal install
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1361093

I do not have a subscription. Does anyone know the fix (workaround) when installed from cd.

The authconfig and system-config-firewall-base packages are needed to configure the firewall during install time but for some reason this is failing with RHEL 6.6.

This issue is being tracked on Bugzilla 1161682.

As a workaround, the following packages can be installed post install or simply add these packages to the kickstart file ks.cfg:

%packages
@core
authconfig
system-config-firewall-base

No, you really do:

Subscriber content preview. A subscription is required for full access to the Red Hat Knowledgebase. Learn more about the benefits of Red Hat Subscriptions.

Thanks, I'll give this a try. I was missing %packages and @core only new about the other two. Not really interested in buying a subscription just to play with a minimal install when the server install works fine.

Thanks Ghost got it now.
%packages must be a C++ like command to pass parameters from the kick start file. Been a long while since I did any programming. Did the install on the other three and added iptables to sysconfig folder and got it working.

Sorry about the confusion OuldeFauder, the wording in the post was directly from the knowledge base solution page, and is a little ambiguous. It should read like this.

authconfig
system-config-firewall-base
