Never
mind on this problem. Had to do with editing the ks.cfg under windows......Darn
Control-M's......Too bad kickstart won't handle this common situation
gracefully.....
Oh
well.

Subject: %pre: pwd returns "no such directory"I am having some odd problems with the %pre part of my script and started to debug it by wrapping things in "sh -xv" so I could see more of what was running and put in a few statements to help me determine the environment. The problem seems to be that typing pwd reports "no such directory", as does cd /, yet writing to /tmp works fine.......huh? I'm not quite sure what is going on here. It all works fine in vt 2 where redhat has the shell prompt. Is this environment different somehow?Any input would be appreciated.Thanks,Sean--------------------------------------------------------------------%pre
