RE: Accessing floppy from %post

["wyvern" <wyvern uvic ca>]

Ooops, I should have mentioned that I'm installing linux via NFS. Thus
/mnt/source points to the nfs filesystem, not the floppy. I'm sorry, I
should have mentioned this. Is there another way?

IIRC the floppy should be mounted under /mnt/source (look at this
directory
once kickstart has begun).  If it is, you should be able to copy files
over
in the %post --nochroot environment:

%post --nochroot
cp /mnt/source/ssh-key /mnt/sysimage/root/.ssh/identity (the .ssh
directory
must exist, of course).
