so i have all these tools but how do I get to them during the %pre part
of kickstart
here is the mount info I get at the end of install
/mnt/runtime done
disabling /dev/loop0
/proc/bus/usb done
/proc done
/dev/pts done
/tmp/ramfs done
/mnt/sysimage/boot done
/mnt/sysimage/dev/pts done
/mnt/sysimage/my done
/mnt/sysimage/proc/bus/usb done
/mnt/sysimage/proc done
/mnt/sysimage/sandbox done
/mnt/sysimage/tmp done
/mnt/sysimage/usr done
/mnt/sysimage/var done
/mnt/sysimage done
so I use something like
/mnt/runtime/usr/bin/dd
or
/tmp/ramfs/usr/bin/dd
also where is my scsi drive
is
/mnt/sysimage/dev/sda
I ask cause I am not sure how to form the statement
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=63
so that it will work for me during the %pre of kickstart
any help here would be very appreciated
