There is both a pre and a post install, however the kernel that's used to kickstart a system has to support the file system type. In other words, you can't create a ReiserFS file system in pre or post unless the kernel that's used during the kick supports ReiserFS. > >>-- > >>Ugo > >> > >>-> Please don't send a copy of your reply by e-mail.
