Hi Adrian, I've done that and it's working perfectly.
Thanks for the pointer Cheers Mike ________________________________ From: Adrian Cruceru [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 19 April 2012 08:37 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Variables in the %include and repo lines Hi Michael, Why not include generic name: %include /tmp/repo.txt %include /tmp/files.txt and in pre just copy/output to those files %pre echo "repo --name ${inst_type} --baseurl=file:///tmp/APP/$<file:///\\tmp\APP\$>{inst_type}/packages" > /tmp/repo.txt cp /tmp/APP/${inst_type}/${config}/packages.inc /tmp/files.txt Regards, Adrian On 04/11/2012 06:49 PM, Michael Hayes M wrote: Hi, Just wondering if anyone can help me here. I'm writing a modular kickstart. I have a large number of machines to install, but I'm only responsible for the base install, other groups configure their apps etc So, I've defined a repo as repo --name ${inst_type} --baseurl=file:///tmp/APP/$<file:///\\tmp\APP\$>{inst_type}/packages and an include of a package list as %include /tmp/APP/${inst_type}/${config}/packages.inc In the %pre section, I source the inst_type and config variables with: cat /tmp/eric_mnt/kickstart/${HOSTNAME}/${HOSTNAME}_installation_param_details | sed 's/^/export /g' > /tmp/params.cfg source /tmp/params.cfg And that works as I use them in the pre section for other things as well. The problem is that the install just stops, sometime after the pre scripts are run, about when I'd expect it to start installing the base packages, without giving me an error I can understand. But, if I hard code those variables into the %include and repo lines, the build completes. Can anyone tell me if variables are not allowed in either the %include or repo lines?
