Kickstart and RHEL 5

[Paul Whitney]

Marcos,

You are correct. The %post is still a valid feature. But read the "Note"
before it...

"Note
The post-install script is run in a chroot environment; therefore,
performing tasks such as copying scripts or RPMs from the installation
media do not work. "


Thanks,

Paul Whitney
