Re: [CentOS] how to 'yum update' in a %post

you need to run this without the --nochroot option, there is no yum included in the installer system, and the only yum you will get working is the one inside the chroot.

OK thanks makes sense - however is there anyway to make some things run with --nochroot and others with it? Just that there is other things allready going on that need the --nochroot

You can have both:

%post --nochroot <Some stuff>

%post --interpreter /bin/sh <More stuff>

This is what the end of my kickstart file looks like:

%post --nochroot --interpreter /bin/sh cp /tmp/hostname /mnt/sysimage/root/.

%post --interpreter /bin/bash mount 192.168.100.1:/exports/centos /mnt cd /mnt ./scripts/post_install.sh
