Just to be sure, this is the %post script in the rpm, not the kickstart
file.
What did the error messages look like?
I see lines like this:
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.34500:line 4: /bin/cp: No such file or directory
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.34500:line 18: /bin/cat: No such file or directory

Much badness; does your package list those as dependencies? (or just
coreutils as a whole?)
My RPM does not list anything as dependencies. This may be wrong but it
is not the only one to fail, a few more do.
I really ought to check up on the current status of this, but there
is/was a bug in anaconda which didn't realise when package orders were
messed up, and the workaround was to call "genhdlist; pkgorder;
genhdlist" with some flags. How did you build the custom CD (genhdlist
specifically)?
A big question. I am trying to make a general purpose script for handle
several cd builds. I have a list of files which my script reads, deletes
from the comps.xml file and deletes the rpms. This leaves me with a
distribution small enough for a single cd. I also add in my own rpm.
The I run:
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist --productpath Fedora $distro/$arch
Next:
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/getfullcomps.py comps.xml $distro i386
>/tmp/comps.out
I grep this for the word CRITICAL and bomb out if there is a problem.
If all is well:
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/pkgorder $distro i386 i386/Fedora >
$distro/pkgorder.txt
and
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist --withnumbers --fileorder
$distro/pkgorder.txt --productpath Fedora $distro
That should be the main distribution made, so the next step is to split
it up:
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/splittree.py --arch=i386 \
--total-discs=$max_disks --bin-discs=$discs
--src-discs=$source_disks \
--release-string="$product" \
--pkgorderfile=$distro/pkgorder.txt \
--distdir=$distro/i386 \
--srcdir=$distro/SRPMS --productpath=Fedora
and finally run genhdlist on the tree for each disc:
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist --withnumbers --productpath Fedora
$distro/i386-disc1
And that's it. I used kickstart with a RH 7.3 distribution several years
ago but basically I am new to this. Please let me know if I have got any
of it wrong.
Thanks.

Please ignore spelling and punctuation - I did.
