I got this method previously on the list, and then changed my PostInstall.sh to do alot of other post-install stuff. I put the PostInstall.sh on the kickstart floppy disk and copy it over during the ks %post: <in ks.cfg> ... blah blah ... %post cd /mnt mount floppy cp /mnt/floppy/PostInstall.sh /etc chmod 700 /etc/PostInstall.sh cat <<EOF >> /etc/rc.local if [ -x /etc/PostInstall.sh ]; then /etc/PostInstall.sh fi EOF <end of ks.cfg> <in PostInstall.sh> #!/bin/sh #check for 2-cpus if <2-cpus exist> recompile kernel special way fi #make sure that you dont execute it next time you reboot chmod u-x /etc/PostInstall.sh reboot <end of PostInstall.sh> This would involve an extra reboot, but if you include the line "reboot" in the first part of ks.cfg, it will do it automatically and you wont have to do anything.
