My kickstart now finds them, but it wont run all of them. Some of them get a "Error code 32256, can't run". For instance, in the first inc there's a simple perl one-liner who replaces a line in a file. It fails. The second inc-file does exactly the same, but more lines in other files, but this one doesnt work. The same scripts fail every time. I even tried using using ksappend, but it only includes one file. Does anybody include files in there kickstart-files, and have a working example to show me? And does anybody know what the 32256 error is?
