You can also add commands to execute on the system after the
installation is completed. If the network is properly configured in
the kickstart file, the network is enabled, and the script can
include commands to access resources on the network. To include a
post-installation script, type it in the text area.
 |
Caution |
| |
Do not include the %post command. It is
added for you.
|
For example, to change the message of the day for the newly
installed system, add the following command to the %post section:
echo "Hackers will be punished!" > /etc/motd
|
To run the post-installation script outside of the chroot
environment, click the checkbox next to this option on the top of
the Post-Installation window. This is
equivalent to using the --nochroot option
in the %post section.
To make changes to the newly installed file system, within the
post-installation section, but outside of the chroot environment,
you must prepend the directory name with /mnt/sysimage/.
For example, if you select Run outside of
the chroot environment, the previous example must be changed to
the following:
echo "Hackers will be punished!" > /mnt/sysimage/etc/motd
|
To specify a scripting language to use to execute the script,
select the Use an interpreter option and
enter the interpreter in the text box beside it. For example,
/usr/bin/python2.2 can be specified
for a Python script. This option corresponds to using %post --interpreter /usr/bin/python2.2 in your kickstart
file.
