Note: my reply doesn't even make sense to me. I hope it does for you all! Yeah - I tried to use %include, but there was a 'chicken vs. the egg' situation - I had to put the %include before %pre, but anaconda barfed because the include script didn't exist yet... and I had somehow determined that the include file was parsed at the same time that the rest of the main kickstart config file was, so it wouldn't hve the goodies that I generated in the %pre script...
