Okay here's the problem that I'm running into. My kickstart works fine. It installs everything properly, updated RPMs, etc. in the %post section, it creates a script in /etc/rc.d/init.d/, symlinks it over in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d, and chmod +x's the script. It creates the script, but won't Chmod it or symlink it. Anything after the echo statement of the script itself does not work. I've attached the ks.cfg so you can check it out. ================= Begin ks.cfg ================= #Custom Kickstart for Redhat 7.3 Installs #Written for Communitech.Net by Chris M. #Completion Date - 07-09-02 - #System language lang en_US #Language modules to install langsupport --default en_US en_US #System keyboard keyboard us #System mouse mouse none #System timezone timezone --utc America/Chicago #Root password rootpw --iscrypted $1$KaøAãÄnW$QbgZaJuJdTG864D6wheMx/ #Reboot after installation reboot #System bootloader configuration bootloader --useLilo --linear --location=mbr #Install Red Hat Linux instead of upgrade install #Use FTP installation media url --url ftp://skillz.communitech.net/ #Clear the Master Boot Record zerombr yes #Clear all partitions from the disk clearpart --all --initlabel #Disk partitioning information part /boot --fstype ext3 --size 100 part swap --size 1000 part / --fstype ext3 --size 1 --grow #Use DHCP networking network --bootproto dhcp #System authorization information auth --useshadow --enablemd5 #Firewall configuration firewall --disabled #Do not configure the X Window System skipx %packages @Network Support @Web Server @Utilities @Software Development @Kernel Development @Server @Software Development pine %post cat >/etc/rc.d/init.d/ks-post-reboot <<End_Of_Post_Reboot !/bin/bash # This script is run after the first reboot, then removes itself. # This should take a very large pain, out of my ass.
