So why in this case use the cdrom as storage for your include ks file ? it will be really easier to use an NFS resource to store this additional file. Anyway, in this configuration, I guess the cdrom won't be mounted automatically, you have to do it in the main .ks file like this: ----------------- install nfs --server=1.2.3.4 --dir=/vol/updts/staging/CentOS_4.3 %include /media/cdrom/anotherfile.ks # the "pre"/"post" directives must be at the end of the .ks file %pre mount /media/cdrom ------------------ I'm not shure this will work: does the install system has an entry in its /etc/fstab for "/media/cdrom" ? It it's not the case, you will have to mount the cdrom "by hand", that means its device is subject to change depending on the hardware configuration of your machine: is it "hda", "hdb", "hdc" ... ? You should try within the shell of console #2. The "pre" section should then look like: ----- %pre mount /dev/hda2 /media/cdrom ----- >> install nfs --server=1.2.3.4 --dir=/vol/updts/staging/CentOS_4.3 >> %include /path/to/file >> >> Once the installation system is running, the mount point for the used >> NFS share by directive "install" is /mnt/source . > > The really great info you gave me is the mount point the nfs command > uses. in fact, /mnt/source is the mount point of the source media (NFS, cdrom, whatever). Once booted, goto onto console #2 with Ctl-Alt-F2 and use "mount" to see it. Regards, Pierre Bourgin
