...

how can I go about extracting the IP address from with in the %pre section

I was going to do something like: cat /proc/cmdline | tr ' ' '\n' | grep ks=http | tr '/' ' ' | awk {' print $2'}

Since tr isnt available how else can I do it?

Jerry, You ever solve this? You can do this all with awk alone.

The thing is if it's in the %pre section, AWK would not have been installed yet?
