Yes you can. Here is a simple application. You have opted not to put some
install scripts into an RPM (for whatever reason), and you don't want to
put
them in your kickstart file, as their quite long. So you place the scripts
in:
/scripts
on the CDROM ISO. Now in your kickstart file you have:
#
# Get scripts on to system.
%post --nochroot
cp -rp /scripts /mnt/sysimage/scripts
#
# Run scripts and then remove them.
%post
cd /tmp/scripts
for a_script in *
do
$a_script
done
cd /
rm -rf /tmp/scripts
Just real generic example but that is how you would do it and one reason
why.
There are a multitude of others.
