Here's a small python script, smp.py, that I use with RH 7.1: #! /usr/bin/python # $Id: smp.py /main/2 2001/08/13 11:38:02 setha Exp $ import isys import sys sys.exit(isys.smpAvailable()) ----end of script---- This script uses the isys module, which is what anaconda uses internally. To use this in a post-install environment, you have to put the script in directory where your post-install script can execute it. Your post script will have to enable a PYTHONPATH. Here's what I use for my PYTHONPATH: export PYTHONPATH=/tmp/updates:/usr/lib/anaconda:/usr/lib/anaconda/textw:/usr/lib/anaconda/iw:/usr/lib/anaconda/installclasses I'm not sure that the PYTHONPATH is correct. And I assume that the isys module knows how to do the right thing. --Seth Alford setha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Thu, Feb 07, 2002 at 03:00:35PM -0600, Rebecca.R.Hepper@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > Hello list, > > In the %post section I need to determine how many processors my system has. > If there is one processor I will install my recompiled kernel, otherwise > I'll let the default be the smp-kernel.
