I do it this way: (in ks.cfg) %post --nochroot ( PATH=${PATH}:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin export PATH # create dir for data copied from source mkdir -p /mnt/sysimage/tmp/source cd /mnt/sysimage/tmp/source if [ ! -e /mnt/source/mydirectory ] ; then # it seems my cdrom is not mounted mkdir -p /tmp/source mount /tmp/cdrom /tmp/source ( cd /tmp/source/mydirectory ; tar cf - *) | tar xvpf - umount /tmp/source rm -rf /tmp/source else ( cd /mnt/source/mydirectory ; tar cf - *) | tar xvpf - fi ) 2>&1 >> /mnt/sysimage/tmp/install-nochroot.log Hope this helps Thomas.
