<TITLE>Kickstart hangs when removing sendmail</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi all.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>My kickstart occasionally hangs indefinitely intermittedly when from my %post I call:</FONT>
</P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2>rpm -e sendmail</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I subsequently install Postfix, and I absolutely require Sendmail removed before hand.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>It's inexplicable. Rpm never returns, the %post just sits there.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Any ideas? I can't pipe STDERR, and the damn thing never returns. When I do get the hang, I'm already on TTY3, and none of the other TTYs offer any clues.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks!!!</FONT>
</P>
