post installation script question

Depending upon what you want to do, you may be better off adding a new class 
to the stage2 installer.  You can make this class be called last, and you can
then do whatever you want.  

Some really good examples are the WelcomeWindow (textw/welcome_text.py), and
the FinishedWindow (textw/complete_text.py).

You will notice multiple locations where the order is mentioned.  When you add
a new class, you will have to touch each location just as with the others.

You may just want to create a new class within the complete_text.py file, or 
to make it really simple modify the FinishedWindow class directly, and remove 
it from the skipSteps (in kickstart.py, doReboot), which is skipped by default 
when doing a kickstart.
