It is just a shell script but the .install script is not running during the post phase. I tried using the --interpreter swith with /usr/bin/bash as the shell but that does not work either does any one know how to make a shell script run in Post? > OpenOffice needs an X server in order to install. Make sure that the virtual frame buffer Xvfb is among the list of packages you install, then include something like the following (which I use to install OpenOffice from an NFS-mounted server) in your script: ## ## Set up OpenOffice ## /usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb :1 & DISPLAY='localhost:1.0' export DISPLAY cd /mnt/nfs1/openoffice1.0 ./install --prefix=/usr/local Andrew Leahy aleahy@xxxxxxxx
