The post script doesn't have to run in a chroot environment. But it will if you specify: '%post --chroot' I personally do not. Also, I routinely use wget within the %post script to retrieve rpms and batch files from my installation server. I have never tried to pull anything off the actuall media during post script as my installations are entirely http (which means that modifying the ks.cfg between builds is a snap). Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: Alexander P.

I'm no expert, but a note on the redhat linux 9 customization guide (page 47) says "...The post-install script is run in a chroot environment; therefore, performing tasks such as copying scripts or RPMs from the installation media will not work...."

I'm trying to backup the ssh keys on a server to be rekickstarted but I am having trouble. Can someone suggest a "pre" and "post" section to backup the keys? Right now i'm trying to backup the keys to /tmp during the "pre" section and then copy them back in the "post" section. But, the files don't seem to be copied: pre section: /bin/mkdir /tmp/sshkeys /bin/cp /etc/ssh/ssh_host* /tmp/sshkeys post section: /bin/cp -rp /tmp/sshkeys /root cp /root/sshkeys/* /etc/ssh Can anyone tell me why the above is not backing up the ssh keys? I don't think it even copies the original sshkeys to /tmp/sshkeys. Jeff _________________________________________________________________ Groove on the latest from the hot new rock groups!
