kickstart, installing extra packages

[Kent Borg]

I am trying to figure out how to get kickstart to install additional
packages, but not succeeding.

My ks.cfg file was generated by the GUI tool, I added my extra
packages by hand, and the file ends like this:

  #X Window System configuration information
  xconfig --depth=24 --resolution=1024x768 --defaultdesktop=GNOME --startxonboot
  #Package install information
  %packages
  @ ubuntu-desktop
  man
  ftp
  openssh-server
  emacs21
  subversion
  dpkg-dev 
  gcc 
  libc6-dev 
  make

After the install I looked in /var/log/installer/debconf-seed and found at the end:

  d-i partman/choose_partition string Finish partitioning and write changes to disk
  d-i partman/confirm boolean true
  base-config base-config/package-selection string (~tubuntu-desktop|~nman|~nftp|~nopenssh-server|~nemacs21|~nsubversion|~ndpkg-dev|~ngcc|~nlibc6-dev|~nmake)
  d-i debconf/priority select critical
  base-config base-config/priority select critical

So, my ks.cfg was seen and read, but it didn't do as I had hoped.  


Suggestions?


Thanks,
