Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I guess my question is more when I try to mount the file system, all it does is hang. I've disabled the firewall within kickstart,so that *shouldn't* be a problem. I wouldn't think I'd have to start mountd, portmapper and the like for this would I since I'm doing my install via nfs.

Try writing: /mnt/temp/shell.sh Remember that all paths to files on the newly installed system will have to be prefixed with /mnt/sysimage if you use --nochroot.
