Thanks for all the ideas on how to tackle this problem!!
My plan is to first try out the suggestion below. What directories can
the post-install script execute? My script never even shows up when I
copy it to /tmp, /usr, /var or /etc.
Thanks!

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.
