Re: Variables in the %include and repo lines

    Hi Michael,

    
    Why not include generic name:

    
    %include /tmp/repo.txt

    %include /tmp/files.txt

    
    and in pre just copy/output to those files

    
    %pre

    echo "repo --name ${inst_type}
        --baseurl=file:///tmp/APP/${inst_type}/packages" >
        /tmp/repo.txt

        
        cp  /tmp/APP/${inst_type}/${config}/packages.inc
    /tmp/files.txt

    
    Regards,

    Adrian

        Hi,
         
        Just wondering if
              anyone can help me here.
         
        I’m writing a
              modular kickstart. I have a large
              number of machines to install, but I’m only responsible
              for the base
              install, other groups configure their apps etc
         
        So, I’ve defined a
              repo as
         
        repo --name
              ${inst_type}
              --baseurl=file:///tmp/APP/${inst_type}/packages
         
        and an include of a
              package list as
         
        %include
              /tmp/APP/${inst_type}/${config}/packages.inc
         
         
        In the %pre
              section, I source the inst_type and
              config variables with:
         
        cat
              /tmp/eric_mnt/kickstart/${HOSTNAME}/${HOSTNAME}_installation_param_details
              |
              sed 's/^/export /g' > /tmp/params.cfg
        source
              /tmp/params.cfg
         
        And that works as I
              use them in the pre section for
              other things as well.
         
        The problem is that
              the install just stops, sometime
              after the pre scripts are run, about when I’d expect it to
              start
              installing the base packages, without giving me an error I
              can understand.
         
        But, if I hard code
              those variables into the %include
              and repo lines, the build completes.
         
        Can anyone tell me
              if variables are not allowed in
              either the %include or repo lines?
         
        Thanks
         
        Mike
