You can also add commands to execute on the system after the installation is completed. If the
network is properly configured in the kickstart file, the network is enabled, and the script can include
commands to access resources on the network. To include a post-installation script, type it in the text
area.
Warning
Do not include the %post command. It is added for you.
For example, to change the message of the day for the newly installed system, add the following
command to the %post section:
echo "Hackers will be punished" > /etc/motd
Note
More examples can be found in Section 31.7.1, “ Examples” .
32.11.1. Chroot Environment
To run the post-installation script outside of the chroot environment, click the checkbox next to this
option on the top of the Post-Installation window. This is equivalent to using the --nochroot
option in the %post section.
