Just escape out the $ cat <<EOF >>/home/test/.rpmmacros %_topdir %(echo \$HOME)/redhat EOF chown test.test /home/test/.rpmmacros -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Patrick Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2006 9:00 AM To: Discussion list about Kickstart Subject: Preserve $HOME in %post? Hi all, I noticed that $HOME becomes /tmp when I use it in the %post section of my ks file. Is there a way to preserve "$HOME"? What happens now is something like this: cat <<EOF >>/home/test/.rpmmacros %_topdir %(echo $HOME)/redhat EOF chown test.test /home/test/.rpmmacros After the install & reboot I see: $ cat /home/test/.rpmmacros %_topdir %(echo /tmp)/redhat And I would like it to say: %_topdir %(echo $HOME)/redhat Thanks for any suggestions.
