You shouldn't try to do anything near that complicated in a %post inside Anaconda during install. While you may get it to work, the firstboot mechanism is design for this; I seem to remember a beta one time that asked to do an update during firstboot, but I don't remember which version; it was pre-yum (up2date was used) and it has been several years. -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu
