Kickstart-list Digest, Vol 132, Issue 3

[Spike White]

<CR><LF> terminators in a ks.cfg file are a strange beast.

Apparently the anaconda parser can tolerate them.  So it works in a
%packages section, or other anaconda-parsed sections.  Like the top,
overall section.

However, anaconda passes off %pre sections and %post sections to the bash
interpreter.  Which doesn't tolerate <CR><LF> terminators.  So you can't
have <CR><LF> in a %pre or %post section.

%include literally embeds the content of the specified file in place.  So
by extension, the same rules apply.  <CR><LF> in that file would be
tolerated in certain sections, not in the %pre or %post section.
