thanks for the response - with regard piping yes through to yum it seems
you can just specify yum -y update and this will anser yes for you.
the interpreter bit is now causing the end of the kickstart to bomb out
with the error of '/usr/local/bin/bash can not be run' as this is where
bash is it seems. This is the %post bit of the kickstart
%post --nochroot --interpreter /usr/local/bin/bash
/usr/bin/yum -y update
any ideas??
