If you want anaconda to do something different when it calls out to an external program, here's a way to trick it. I wanted to create a logical volume with 2 stripes (if you specify multiple physical volumes, anaconda will just create a concatenated volume group). In the %pre section of my kickstart file, I put: ######################################################################## cp /usr/sbin/lvcreate /tmp/lvcreate.bin cat > /tmp/lvcreate <<EOF #!/bin/sh exec /tmp/lvcreate.bin -i 2 -I 1024 \$@ EOF chmod +x /tmp/lvcreate mount /tmp/lvcreate /usr/sbin/lvcreate -o bind ######################################################################## This copies the lvcreate binary, creates a shell script wrapper, and then bind mounts the shell script on top of the original binary. This can be used to change anything that anaconda doesn't handle internally. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
