Not finding /tmp/include created in %pre

[Bledsoe, Alton]

My bad. Need to adjust my glasses. The parser caught me on the file extension; .ks versus .sh. All is well now.

But for the first point, I have never seen anyone comment on carriage returns showing up at the end of command execution if the %pre script is embedded in the Kickstart file. The clue for the work around was in an Oracle doc showing the script %included in the kickstart file.

First, I had to work around the fact that the execution of shell commands are terminated with a carriage return including file names that are created during %pre. The work around was simply:
%pre
%include http://<ip>/path/to/script.sh<http://%3cip%3e/path/to/script.sh>
%post

In this script.sh I write out network commands for 4 interfaces after capturing input from tty6.
I write to /tmp/net-include and, using alt-F2 shell terminal, I can readily see it in /tmp

The %include /tmp/net-config in the kickstart file is generating a PYCURL ERROR 22 ... 404 not found once parsed after the %pre section %end's.

Why are these simple looking things that have many similar examples on the web not working?
