You know this has been covered so many times of late, it seems like it
ought to
go in the kickstart section of the rh manual. Actually it might be nice to
have a little
section talking about %pre and %post script strategies and methods.
Cheers...james

Please respond to
kickstart-list
As has been said before, the %post script is executed in another terminal,
so put these lines in first:
#Change to virtual terminal number 3 to see echoed output
/usr/bin/chvt 3
And these lines behind your script:
#Change to virtual terminal number 3 to see echoed output
/usr/bin/chvt 1
Also, make sure the chvt package is installed.
As for network, are these files still correct after you reboot? Try the
archives, I've read something like this before, I think that time Kudzu was
to blame...

Subject: problem %post script
hello all
In fact I have 2 problem (I have made my own red hat 7.2cd that's for why
you can see 'rtl los in %packages')
-first is that when i put this post script on my kickstart file the
installation stop just after the boot installer and i have a lovely blue
screen and when i execute the script after the installation it cause no
trouble
- the second is not about kickstart but maybe someone can help me when i
execute that scrip all my parameters become good but when i reeboot the
"ifconfig" is erased
here is my kickstart file
thanks in advance for your help
bye
