I think you are on the right path Richard. I just modify my script to the following to see if any value is being assign to the variables %pre #!/bin/sh # # Gets list of drives with size of each drive # set $(list-harddrives) let numd=$#/2 echo $numd > /tmp/output1 # Setup to accommodate up to 2 drives d1=$1 d2=$3 echo $numd > /tmp/output2 echo $numd > /tmp/output3 And I notices few odd behavior. 1st, the name of all the output file has a '?' append to it (i.e /tmp/output1?) 2nd, there is no value assign to numd, the output was blank! Any idea? When I ran the command manually during anaconda install (from console 2), it works Dwc -----Original Message----- From: Richard Black [mailto:richard.black@xxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2004 11:14 AM To: Chan, Dominic Cc: anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: %pre script with rhel 3.0 Other than the typo, I don't see anything: # Disk partitioning information %include /tmp/partinf You should at least get one of the if statements to execute which would populate /tmp/partinfo with something. Maybe you have some errors in your if statement? The if statement might break if $numd is blank. Try enclosing in "" to fix. If still no luck after fixing the type and using double quotes, then try simplifying the if statement until it works.
