I have been looking for environment variables for the %post section of kickstart.
Namely if I start my kickstart command with "linux ks=http://serverip/ks.cfg" is there an environment variable that has serverip that I can use in the %post section?
Also is there a way to pass a command line argument to the %post section when running kickstart command as the above http://serverip/ks.cfg
There are no pre-assigned environment variables in kickstart, but you can query kernel parameters from 'cat /proc/cmdline' and you can setup your own environment variables early in the %post section that you can use later.
You can probably use different userland utilities to acquire different information and populate your own environment variables with it. Just make sure the utilities are installed in the %packages section. DHCP information would be handy in variables. I set the architecture variable early with:
export ARCH="`uname -i`"
