Pre-Installation Script

Figure 7-15. Pre-Installation Script

You can add commands to run on the system immediately after the kickstart file has been parsed and before the installation begins. If you have configured the network in the kickstart file, the network is enabled before this section is processed. If you would like to include a pre-installation script, type it in the text area.

If you want to specify a scripting language to use to execute your script, click the Use an interpreter button and enter the interpreter in the text box beside the button. For example, /usr/bin/python2.2 can be specified for a Python script. This option corresponds to using %pre --interpreter /usr/bin/python2.2 in your kickstart file.

CautionCaution
 

Do not include the %pre command. It will be added for you.
