Ok, Several People have "silently" e-mailed me with the iformation (now obvious) that the chroot command is available within the %post section. Meaning that you can use %post with the -nochroot option, then later, inside your %post script - use the chroot command. Giving me a "Dooh!" moment. The idea is start with %post -nochroot copy/tar your directories over to some scratch space under /mnt/sysimage THEN issue the chroot /mnt/sysimage (script) where (script) was your origional ks.cfg file I've not tested this myself! But, it does seem reasonable. Since none of them posted this useful tidbit to the list - I am. Someone suggested using the $post command repetitively with/without the -chroot option. I REALLY havent' tested that. -- ____________________________________________________________________ | Ron Reeder | rreeder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx| | Denver Technical Support | Phone: (303) 389-4408 | "http://ldap.slb.com/query.cgi?filter=(cn=Ron%20Reeder%20%29"
