I did consider removing 'reboot' from my ks.cfg, but only as a last resort. I think it would be nice to insert the CDROM, start the machine and come back when everything is done to see a login prompt. I just added 'eject /dev/cdrom' to my %POST and that command did not seem to execute. Note that the CD tray on the machines I have will not close automatically on reboot. This is something other people have come across. So I should be ok as long as the command properly executes and the CD tray opens before reboot. I am not using the --chroot option. > > From: "Bodle, Donald E" <donald_bodle@xxxxxxxxxx> > Date: 2003/09/25 Thu AM 09:21:02 EDT > To: "'kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx'" <kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: RE: Ejecting CDROM in %POST? > > Do you NEED to automatically reboot after the install?
