The path is relative to the file system on the system being installed.  I 
generate them in %pre to dump to /tmp/packages (since that's writable 
memdisk), or wget them to /tmp/packages so my %include 
is %include /tmp/packages.

Think of it like this, once you've started the install, go to tty2 where you 
would get a shell, and that file system would be where your file needs to 
live.
