You need to do this in a chroot environment. I have some rpms that don't install well from anaconda (e.g webmin) in a directory in the install tree, and do something like: %post --nochroot cp /mnt/source/badrpms/webmin-1.050-1.noarch.rpm /mnt/sysimage/tmp chroot /mnt/sysimage rpm -ivh /tmp/webmin-1.050-1.noarch.rpm This is all done in a script, but that's roughly what it does. In the example above badrpms would be a directory on your nfs server at the same level as RedHat. > Can I include a custom rpm package in %package section? How? Yes. It's not trivial though. There's some information at http://rhlinux.redhat.com/anaconda/comps.html and you'll find some other useful stuff if you search the archives for this list. You might want to look at http://www.linuxworks.com.au/redhat-installer-howto.html as well, which is only for redhat 7.x, but some of it is relevant to redhat 8.0 Regards, Chris
