Description of problem: Including the %include directive in the %pre or %post section of a kickstart file followed by a file name produces an error during parsing. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 17 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. In either the %pre or %post section of a kickstart, copy a file from an external source to the local filesystem. For example, mkdir /tmp/mnt mount -t nfs 1.2.3.4:/export /tmp/mnt cp /tmp/mnt/foofile / 2. Include the file from step 1 in the kickstart with the %include directive: %include /foofile * Add '--erroronfail' to the %pre or %post line being used to more easily see the error. Actual results: The installation will halt with an error similar to the following: fg: no job control Expected results: File text should be included into the ks as documented in: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart#Chapter_4._Pre-installation_Script Additional info: * Error is generated whether file actually exists or not.
