I have found --log=/tmp/post-install.log but then that shows nothing 
on VT3.

I would like to have both if possible. Log to VT and a file.

THanks,

Kickstart in RHEL5/CentOS 5 you can do this

%post
(
do your stuff here
) 1/root/kickstart-post-install.log 21




Not sure if older versions of RHEL/CentOS support that.

Nate,

I tried the above suggestion and it did not have the desired effect.
Everything gets logged to log file. I was hoping for a way 
to log to the file and also still see it on the screen also.


Is there a way to do that?

Jerry

Have you tried something like this:

%post
(
do your stuff here
) 21 | tee post-install.log

As another poster noted you can use tee, which should do the job.

For my systems I have the server email me upon initial reboot
among other things the contents of the post-install for review.

It looks like this:
%post
(
do your stuff here
)  21 | tee /root/post-install.log

works except for 1 item.
I do a yum udpate in the post section and NONE of the data
that gets printed during the yum update was logged.
Everything else was logged just fine.

Any idea there?

Jerry
