The first one should work, but keep in mind that /tmp is in the ramdisk, so make sure you do something with the file in %post (like copy it to the hard drive), or it will disappear when you reboot (and be aware that the space available for you to write to files in the ramdsik is limited). -- Jason Kohles jkohles@xxxxxxxxxx Senior Engineer Red Hat Professional Consulting
