Why not include generic name:<br>
<br>
%include /tmp/repo.txt<br>
%include /tmp/files.txt<br>
<br>
and in pre just copy/output to those files<br>
<br>
%pre<br>
echo "<font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;
font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-IE">repo --name ${inst_type}
--baseurl=<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="file:///tmp/APP/$">file:///tmp/APP/$</a>{inst_type}/packages" >
/tmp/repo.txt<br>
<br>
cp </span></font><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial" lang="EN-IE">/tmp/APP/${inst_type}/${config}/packages.inc<o:p></o:p></span></font>
<font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size:
