Hi.
I'm trying to write an FC5 installer for my laptop, so that when I'm
on the road (and don't have access to the corporate intranet), I can
reimage my computer.
I've got a few questions about tailoring a ks.cfg file.
(1) when you specify "ks=cdrom", where does this imply the ks.cfg
file to be? In the top-level directory of the DVD?
(2) when your %post script is run, what is mounted where? Where
is the DVD root filesystem? Apparently not /mnt/source any more
... because I threw "mount" into the script to display the filesystems
just for fun and it wasn't in there. I have some scripts that I want
to be able to run off the DVD from there...
(3) where does the output of %post get logged? vt3? But not a file?
(4) when %post is run, have the repos been created yet? I tried running
yum, as in:
yum -y update kernel
...
yum -y --enablerepo=atrpms install madwifi madwifi-kmdl madwifi-hal-kmdl
...
but I'm seeing:
Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: core
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: core
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Update Process
Setting up repositories
Thanks,
-Philip
