Hi, all -- Here's a followup to clarify all of my meanderings in the hope that it will make things easier for Those Who Come After. ...and then David @ BigFoot said... % % ...and then David @ BigFoot said... % ... % % /etc/resolv.conf file, for instance) but cannot mount my central server % % to copy a file from there.

I also found that the system is mounted at I later learned that %post runs in a chrooted environment, which explains why I didn't see the same things after the final reboot that I did during the build. The light bulb over my head was blindingly bright :-) Mounting server:/path/to/directory /mnt/cdrom via IP address in the %post section mounted it where you'd expect -- that is, under /mnt/cdrom for the chrooted environment and really under /mnt/sysimage/mnt/cdrom if you're free. From there, I can copy files from /mnt/cdrom to /etc (say, resolv.conf) just fine; just forget that there's anything outside the apparent system and move on. To turn on telnet and rsh, running chkconfig telnet on chkconfig rsh on works just fine, though I hear that one could specify %post --nochroot ... chroot /mnt/sysimage chkconfig telnet on to do the same thing if the chrooted environment caused problems. Thanks to all for all of their help! :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) davidtg@xxxxxxxxxxx * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) davidtgwork@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.bigfoot.com/~davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
