If you put something into /tmp in the pre section, then before the pre section ends, copy it to /mnt/sysimage/tmp and then once in the post section, it will be in /tmp and available for you use. Basically, /tmp from the pre section is no longer available in the post section (but it is available in a post section if you specify --nochroot). What was in /mnt/sysimage/tmp is now in /tmp in the post section Cheers Mike -----Original Message----- From: John Oliver [mailto:<a href="mailto:joliver@john-oliver.net">joliver@john-oliver.net</a>] Sent: 19 April 2012 15:05 To: Discussion list about Kickstart Subject: Re: Can't get files to %include On Thu, Apr 19, 2012 at 12:56:50PM +0300, Adrian Cruceru wrote: > Hi John, > > I think you should do all processing regarding %include in %pre, > anything in %post is too late to change %include statements (system is > already installed). > > Regards, > Adrian > > On 04/17/2012 03:49 PM, John Oliver wrote: > >RHEL 5.4 In %pre, I can %include /mnt/source/isolinux/setup-questions > >But if I first copy setup-questions to /tmp/ks-files/, I can no longer > >include it.

I'm not sure what you mean by "it's too late"... it's an include. I can't include something in %pre that must be done in %post And that doesn't explain why %include /mnt/source/isolinux/setup-questions works, but copying setup-questions to /tmp/ and then %include /tmp/setup-questions does not, even though /tmp/setup-questions exists, is readable, and contains the exact same code that works just fine when included from the DVD. I have several kickstarts, and chunks of code that are common to all of them. I want to have those common chunks in one place, so when I need to make a change, I make it in one place and the change will automatically be seen by all kickstarts. Just in case there's a question of terminology here.
