In the %post section, I can copy known good Xconfig files to /etc/X11, and they would work, except that X configuration by the installer takes place _AFTER_ the installation process. This seems to be a new "feature". Is it possible to do all things the installer needs to do BEFORE the %post section, so that in future version of Red Hat Linux %post will truely live up to it's name? This would be useful so that a script run in the %post section, regardless of what runlevel was configured, or automatic X configuration did or didn't happen, will truely have the last word _after_ installation. Thanks, Joshua Jensen
%post should always have the last word...this is strange. Can you attach your kickstart file so we can try to duplicate this?

Sorry... I was gone for two weeks. Attached please find my ks.cfg kickstart file. I'm using ftp as an installation method; I'm not sure if the results would be different with NFS or cdrom.

This bug also screws the RedHat RHCE Examinations ! I am an RHCEX in UK. This bug reported to LJ in UK - who did not believe it I thnk ! Work-around is to create a 'one-shot' rc5.d script to copy required XF86 files to /etc/X11 on first reboot. Also related - many 'xconfig' options do not work in kickstart.cfg files.
%post should now really have the last word as its done right before the congratulations screen
fix verified
Thanks guys!
