Don't think you can use %include in a %pre section.  As this section is
being parsed by /bin/bash.  But you can accomplish the

same effect by using bash-based syntax.


[[ -f /tmp/yes_cdrom ]] && cat ${basepath}includes/disk_choose >
/tmp/disk_choose || (cd /tmp; wget ${basepath}includes/disk_choose)


then in your main ks.cfg section:


     %include /tmp/disk_choose
