I can get the kickstart command line with /proc/cmdline it looks something like xxxxx ks=http://192.168.1.8/ks/ks.cfg xxxxxx in the %pre sections of my ks.cfg I was wanting to extract the IP from the ks= part. I was going to utilize the "tr" command but its not available in %pre. how can I go about extracting the IP address from with in the %pre section I was going to do something like: cat /proc/cmdline | tr ' ' '\n' | grep ks=http | tr '/' ' ' | awk {' print $2'} Since tr isnt available how else can I do it?
