%pre and %post are essentially bash shell scripts, independent of the other lines Here's a clever snippet (also originated from Chip) that illustrates how to build part of your kickstart, on the fly, using %pre and %include... # lots of stuff here... # ... # .... %include /tmp/partinfo %pre # Determine how many drives we have set \$(list-harddrives) let numd=\$#/2 d1=\$1 d2=\$3 cat << EOF >> /tmp/partinfo part / --fstype ext3 --size=1024 --grow --ondisk=\$d1 --asprimary part swap --size=1024 --ondisk=\$d1 --asprimary #EOF In the above example, the pre script runs first, and generates a file in /tmp. That file is then inserted into the kickstart, containing instructions for drive setup. The same thing can be done in your case.
Sorry, I see what you want to explain, but I don't get the syntax..... because I don't understand when it is written and when read. Don't get how the files work together.... Gabrie
