Sourcing the ks.cfg location from %post

[Chris Mckenzie]

Hi guys.
 
I'm trying to source the ks.cfg programmatically from the ks' %post using
Bash.
 
%post scripts copying files need to have source file locations hardcoded. I
wanted to have a ks that at %post would get the original ks= source path
from my isolinux.cfg label.
 
The files I want to copy are relative to the ks.cfg file, and I'm NFS
running the ks.cfg from isolinux.cfg on an "Install CD".
 
I was hoping to have my %post script derive the relative location of the
files to grab from the location of the ks.cfg.
 
For example:
 
isolinux.cfg label or at the "Install CD" boot prompt:
 
    ks=nfs:10.4.146.47:/var/software/init/ks.cfg
 
Then from the ks.cfg %post:
 
    %post
    echo `dirname $0`
 
I was hoping `dirname $0` would give me the source path of the ks.cfg, but
it pointed to /tmp. (which is where I'll assume the installer copied and
read ks.cfg from)
 
Hardcoding the same base path 3 times isn't my preference and I can't pass
vars in a ks.
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks!!!
