A big thanks to Phill for the following as it does work! > >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 Next Problem: 1) Given that I have 2 executables which I wish to run (one in the background) every time on start up (I'm not using X), which file should I put the commands in? I would normally run my progs at command prompt with: ./LCDd -someargs & ./kecoss These are the only executeables I ever wish the system to run, and I dont want a to have to type a password as the host will be controlled by numeric keypad. Any ideas anyone? Can I do this all in the kickstart script? Regards, Lloyd
