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.
