Try doing it this way... should save you much work.. %post #mount the cdrom updfstab mount /mnt/cdrom cp /mnt/cdrom/Fedora/RPMS/extras/mysqld.init /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld That should be all you need.. the updfstab updates the /etc/fstab with /mnt/cdrom and points it to the correct device. I'm sure you can figure out the rest :). Good luck! James James S.
