I am trying to add an RPM to a custom distribution of RedHat 9.0. The RPM installs a mysql database into the mysql. The RPM depends on mysql-client and mysqld and I can verify that anaconda installs them in the proper order by reviewing the install log. In the %post section of the rpm I try to do the following: 1) start the database - /etc/init.d/mysqld start 2) create a new database - mysql < file_to_create_db.sql 3) import the database - mysql db_name < database.sql (for the sake of making the post shorter I took out the user/password) This works on a booted box installing the rpm at the command line. It even works "sometimes" during the installer. I believe this "sometimes" is due to different networks? The error message I see in the install log is file not found /etc/sysconfig/network. I tried creating a "dummy" file for this by creating /etc/sysconfig/network at setting it to "networking=yes\nhostname=localhost.localdomain". Then deleting the file after I've installed my database. This fixed the problem on a few of the networks but not all of them. So is it possible to install a mysql database during the anaconda installer? Is there a way to guarantee the network is setup by anaconda before this rpm is installed? Suggestions? Comments? Thanks, Bryan
