2.2.2.5. Syntax Changes
Changes to the core Kickstart syntax are quite rare. However, there are two important syntax changes to be aware of:
- The
%includeoption can now accept a URL as an argument, in addition to a file name. - The
%packages,%post,%preand%tracebacksections do not require an%endsection. A deprecation warning will appear if%endsections are not included, but the script will continue to run.
