part-include

[Keegan, Gordon]

Noticing that your address is "vmware.com", just in case you are trying
to kickstart VMware ESX 2.x.x, it is based on an older version of
anaconda that doesn't support the part-include functionality.  You can
have a %pre section, but the ks.cfg file won't get re-read to pick up a
new partition layout.  I haven't looked at it yet, but this should be
fixed in ESX 3, which is based on RHEL 3.

I have a %pre script that writes to /tmp/part-include depending on the 
hard drive layout.
The file, part-include is successfully written, but kickstart seems to 
ignore it.

I've tried putting, before the %pre section and in the %pre section.
%include /tmp/part-include

Where do you put this line?
