Is there a way to specify that the kickstart script should create

I don't believe anaconda (kickstart) has a way of doing this, but
it would certainly be possible in a %post script.
Thanks, Chip and Phil.
I'm not that familiar with putting a script in %post. In a "normal"
environment, the script would look something like this:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M size=100
mkswap /swapfile
echo -e "/swapfile\tswap\tswap\tdefaults\t0\t0" >> /etc/fstab
From the docs[1] it looks as though this script will work as-is. If
that's not the case, how would I need to modify that script so that
it will work in a %post section? Also, what default interpreter is
being used to run the script: bash, sh, other? The docs mention that
I can change it, but not what the default is, unless I overlooked it.
Again, thanks in advance for any pointers.
