>From the RedHat Kickstart manual: Note "Note that the post-install script is run in a chroot environment; therefore, performing tasks such as copying scripts or RPMs from the installation media will not work." HOWEVER, we were able to "remount" the installation CD (your is DVD), and copy files from it, using --nochroot. %post --nochroot --interpreter /mnt/sysimage/bin/bash #Loading data files echo "Copying server files....." mount /tmp/cdrom /mnt/sysimage/mnt cp -r /mnt/sysimage/mnt/mycdmydir/* /mnt/sysimage/ .... umount /mnt/sysimage/mnt .... The trick at time was how to know the installation CD was actually is /tmp/cdrom... (your may be /tmp/dvd). To find out, we had a sleep 600 at the %post section, and went look around.
