Thanks for that information. I know Mike will appreciate, as do I. If you didn't tell us that piece of information, how might have we found it on our own? Would we have to know python and troll through the code or is there another way we might have figured it out??
Thanks again.
Mike

Run "updfstab" in the %post, and the cdrom stuff will get created.
