Here is how I did it. In real life, I have more error checking and other fancy stuff in my %post section: %post mount server:/image-dir /tmp/image-dir cp /tmp/image-dir/my-rpm-file /my-destination Alternatively, if you run a web server on your kickstart server, you can get rpms to local machine thru wget/rpm directly: %post ... cd /my-destination wget http://server:port/image-dir/my-rpm-file # just copy rpm file to local machine rpm -i http://server:port/image-dir/my-rpm-file # this installs rpm on local machine Yiping -----Original Message----- From: hesselsp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx Sent: 4/10/01 7:01 AM Subject: coping files off the CD. I want to copy a tar file off the CD. I can't do it in %pre because the harddrive partitions aren't mounted yet. I can't do it in %post because its in the chroot environment So I tried making an rpm with the files that I want, but anaconda crashes saying that my rpm is unavailable. My rpms name is: PAUL_files-0.1-1.src.rpm, is there something wrong with this? Can anyone make a suggestion as to what I can do? Under %packages I have tried: PAUL PAUL* PAUL_files PAUL_files-0.1-1.src.rpm Help? -- -- Paul _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
