(In fact, I would very much like to see this capability built into kickstart as a simple option: specify a DEBUG parameter, and, on error, a shell prompt is provided.) </blockquote></div> There is no need for a DEBUG parameter. You can get to a shell for debugging by.. 1. not putting reboot in your ks.cfg 2. Crtl-Alt-F2 #2 will get you into a shell prompt that will allow you to do your debugging. If you are running your %post in a chroot fashion (default), the you will want to run chroot /mnt/sysimage and then do your debugging. -Jeremy, RHCE
