Re: Kickstart and RHEL 5

Yes Paul, this is why you need to put the nochroot option...look the
example:

%post --nochroot cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/sysimage/etc/resolv.conf

I think the resolv.conf is on the cd image.

Marcos,

You are correct. The %post is still a valid feature. But read the "Note"
before it...

"Note
The post-install script is run in a chroot environment; therefore,
performing tasks such as copying scripts or RPMs from the installation
media do not work. "


Thanks,

Paul Whitney

I am trying to create a custom ISO using RHEL 5.

In RHEL 4 it was possible to mount the cdrom in the kickstart file
after
install (%post --nochroot) and copy over files to the root homedir.

Apparently that feature is no longer available according to the RHEL 5
Installation Guide. Are there any suggestions on how to get a tar
file,
background images and a script loaded onto a system using either
ks.cfg
or some other means automatically? (i.e. no user interaction)

Thanks,

Paul W.
