Re: [CentOS] kickstart problems since 7.3

I tracked this down, eventually. Under RHEL/CentOS 7.2, the rootfs was limited to the size of available memory. Under 7.3, there's an artificial restriction of 50% of total system memory. The default size of a VM under "virt-manager" is 1G, which creates a ~500MB rootfs in the installer. Th
