I have tried it and it is not working for me.  Could be that I am doing
something wrong..below is a snip of my ks.cfg file. After not getting it
to work, I referred to the manuals.  What am I misunderstanding from the
note?

%post --nochroot

mkdir -p /mnt/sysimage/root/my_extra
mkdir /tmp/iso
mount /tmp/cdrom /tmp/iso

cp -fa /tmp/iso/Custom/logo /mnt/sysimage/root/my_extra
cp -fa /tmp/iso/Custom/errata /mnt/sysimage/root/my_extra
cp -fa /tmp/iso/Custom/post /mnt/sysimage/root/my_extra
cp -fa /tmp/iso/Custom/lockdown.sh /mnt/sysimage/root/my_extra

This worked under RHEL 4. However, not working now at all.
