chroot /path/to/start/in Multi-COMMAND

[Joe_Wulf]

To Kyle, John and Shabazian---thank you each for your replies to my problem. 
Ended up tweaking the script so that it took an argument, which I conveniently
passed to it, of the dir it was acting on.

I'm not sure why you're running chroot in a %post --nochroot script. Seems like
it'd be easier to just run "myscript" in a regular %post script. But you could
give this a shot:

chroot /mnt/sysimage /mnt/sysimage/workingdir/myscript

This will run /mnt/sysimage/workingdir/myscript with /mnt/sysimage as /.

Because the chroot utility is not provided by anaconda. It's part of the
coreutils package.
