could have that line appended to the rc.local file during %post - then it would
run on every system boot. Probably another dozen ways to do it as
well.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=913570516-16082005><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm performing a
Kickstart installation to a remote machine and I need to create a device so
that I can receive IPMI message from another piece of hardware using a
daemon.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=913570516-16082005><FONT face=Arial size=2>works fine if I
login to a console and execute the step manually, but I need to do it within
my ks.cfg file and make it "stick" so the device remains for subsequent
boot-ups.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=913570516-16082005><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've it tried %pre
& %post, but obviously remain confused since it does not "stick". I
can see it created before the Kickstart reboots however.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
