Steve, I replied regarding setting up a hardlink/softlink to the file in /mnt/sysimage but that won't work because I won't be able to softlink/hardlink /tmp/ks-script while its running. so the alternative would be to setup another script and have that other script excute in chrooted env and then exit and return back to the non-chrooted post install system. what do you think?
