CentOS

Okay, my kid's asleep so I have some time to post this: Here's the link for the patched stage2.img file: http://v2gnu.com/filemgmt/singlefile.php?lid=26 In my kickstart, here's what I have that works (it creates a dir called /var/mystuff and then untar/gzip's the archive file "me.tar.gz" from the in...

For those that are interested, I solved the problem and will post the solution in a little bit. I'm waiting on the stage2.img file to upload to my webserver before I post the instructions and a link to the fixed file. I'll do that later today.
Thanks for all the suggestions!

Well, I ended up changing anaconda and rebuilding stage2.img. Now during my kickstart I can see the file, but still can't complete the task. If I use %post and these commands: mkdir -p $INSTALL_ROOT/var/mystuff touch $INSTALL_ROOT/var/mystuff/test cd $INSTALL_ROOT/var/mystuff tar xzvf /mnt/source/me...

Using hda worked for Cent4 kickstarts though, so I assumed (I know, U, Me, and all that) that it was the same in Cent5. I did come ...

Sorry, was ahead of myself. I tried both of those mount commands with no success (not together).
I'm still stumped. I'm going to try and watch the background info when installing and see if there's anything useful in there.

Hmm. None of them worked: cp -R /root/me* $INSTALL_ROOT/var/mystuff/me2.tar.gz cp cdrom:/me.tar.gz $INSTALL_ROOT/var/mystuff/ cp -R /me* $INSTALL_ROOT/var/mystuff/ I even tried: mkdir /mnt/source mount /dev/hda /mnt/source mount /tmp/cdrom /mnt/source cp /mnt/source/me.tar.gz $INSTALL_ROOT/var/mystu...

Can you tell me what the path would be to copy the me.tar.gz from from the root of the CD? I'm trying: cp...

I'm creating a kickstart file that installs the packages I want. I also need to copy some files from the installation CD to the installed system during the kickstart process. I've tried copying the file (it's only 1) like this: %post --nochroot mkdir /mnt/source mount /dev/hda /mnt/source mount /tmp...

Can someone point me in the right direction for changing the splash.lss file? I've created CentOS4 CD's in the past, but the same isolinux/splash.lss file does not work with the new Cent5 schema. Is there a spec listing somewhere that I am missing?
Thanks in advance!
