Install of rpm packages in %post - script

[Martin Siddall]

I've been struggling with this for days and I still have problems with
it. Running Fedora Core 1.


When attempting to do mkdir -p  /mnt/source the script creates a
/mnt/source? Dir (mnt/source + questionmark). I thought well ok and
changed the copy command to cp /mnt/source?/custom.tar
/mnt/sysimage/root

Still no luck. Comes back with error message that is intermingled with
the kickstart dialog and I can't work out what's happening and why.

[Note the installation has been stripped down to one CD - could I have
missed and essential RPM ??]

Anyone have an idea


Many thanks

Martin
