Need to adjust my glasses. The parser caught me on the file extension; .ks versus .sh. All is well now. But for the first point, I have never seen anyone comment on carriage returns showing up at the end of command execution if the %pre script is embedded in the Kickstart file. The clue for the work around was in an Oracle doc showing the script %included in the kickstart file. <div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #b5c4df 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in">From: Bledsoe, Alton Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2015 7:21 PM To: '<a href="mailto:kickstart-list@redhat.com" target="_blank">kickstart-list@redhat.com</a>' Subject: Not finding /tmp/include created in %pre</div></div> First, I had to work around the fact that the execution of shell commands are terminated with a carriage return including file names that are created during %pre. The work around was simply:%pre%include <a href="http://%3cip%3e/path/to/script.sh" target="_blank">http://<ip>/path/to/script.sh</a>%post In this script.sh I write out network commands for 4 interfaces after capturing input from tty6.I write to /tmp/net-include and, using alt-F2 shell terminal, I can readily see it in /tmp The %include /tmp/net-config in the kickstart file is generating a PYCURL ERROR 22 … 404 not found once parsed after the %pre section %end’s. Why are these simple looking things that have many similar examples on the web not working?
