I found one old post refering to starting postgresql in kickstart %post, and it says they were successfull. However, it involved use of 'chvt 3' before starting postgresql. I didn't think that VT's are available in latest install for Redhat ?? Therefore have not tried this.
Ok, amcompletely wrong here. (Am wondering where I got that idea from) Shall try using commands like : chvt 3 < do the postgresql commands> chvt 1 Just to see if it works. CHeers, Michael
