Again, I'm not following. Does %include simply not work anywhere but in %pre? I cannot find a single bit of documentation that says word one about that. http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installation_Guide/s1-kickstart2-options.html says: %include (optional) Use the %include /path/to/file command to include the contents of another file in the kickstart file as though the contents were at the location of the %include command in the kickstart file. And that doesn't explain why I can %include a file on the DVD but cannot after copying that file to /tmp > If you put something into /tmp in the pre section, then before the pre section ends, copy it to /mnt/sysimage/tmp and then once in the post section, it will be in /tmp and available for you use. Except it isn't, as I mentioned in my original post. > Basically, /tmp from the pre section is no longer available in the post section (but it is available in a post section if you specify --nochroot). > What was in /mnt/sysimage/tmp is now in /tmp in the post section I'm aware of that. But, again, as stated in my original post, when I copy files from /tmp to /mnt/sysimage/tmp and then refer to /tmp in %post, the %include does not work. -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * *********************************************************************** _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
