This allows you to refer to /etc, /usr/local and so on without prepending /mnt/sysimage everywhere. >how do I copy my files off the CDROM, in the chroot environment or not? Either, but chroot'ed would be simpler. >I mean excuse my ignorance here, but if the newly installed system is >mounted on /mnt/sysimage, what is at / is that in memory? The initrd (initial RAM disk) from the CD. >How do I access the CDROM? (example, not tested) %post # mount CD /usr/sbin/updfstab mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom # add software rpm -i /mnt/cdrom/custom/RPMS/*.rpm # copy config files cp -a /mnt/cdrom/custom/etc/* /etc Hope this helps, Phil
