Re: Kickstart and RHEL 5



You can do all of this in %post --nochroot. Where did you find that you cannot do this in RHEL5?

I think that you are misinterpreting the installation guide: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Installation_Guide-en-US/s1-kickstart2-postinstallconfig.html

Just copy your data from the media to where you would like under /mnt/ sysimage/.

Have you tried this yet, or were you strictly basing this assumption off of the installation guide?

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,
