Description Jos Vos 2000-11-12 14:02:09 UTC

Empty lines in the ks.cfg scripts, at least in the %pre script, seem to be
discarded.  This is a problem, at least when making commands with
here-documents. As a workaround I now generate the command input with an
echo command.

Comment 1 Michael Fulbright 2000-11-13 19:20:27 UTC

Could you attach an example of a script that fails?

Comment 2 Fabian Kroenner 2000-11-20 15:27:43 UTC

I tried something like the following in %post, and it didn't work for me.

cd /etc/X11
