What could be done in the %pre section? And how do you do it? I had rebuilt the intial ram disk so it includes sfdisk, but when I attemt to use it in the %pre section it does nothing. Anaconda/kickstart continues on its merry way. It doesn't do what I want (I don't even know if it attempts to or not, there are no errors or outputs anywhere). The ram disk I rebuilt is the /Redhat/base/stage2.img . Is/was this the right one to add sfdisk too? I made hard paths to all files/dev, /usr/sbin/sfdisk, /tmp/sda, & /tmp/sdb . Here is the line I used in the %pre section: /usr/sbin/sfdisk -d /tmp/sda | sfdisk /tmp/sdb Any ideas or suggestions? TIA Steve
