I made a custom kickstart file. It works great until the very end of the "%post" section. It does all the stuff I show below until it gets to the line that says "cp -f -v /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.bak". I know that line never get executed and the line before ("mount testlinux:/nfs/fc7 /mnt/temp") it may not work but I have no way of knowing. I do know the line "mkdir -p /mnt/temp" works. Also, "mount testlinux:/nfs/fc7 /mnt/temp" works from the command line. Does Anaconda/Kickstart write its errors anywhere? Any ideas? Thanks!
