generate files for the kickstart file to include.
--interpreter

they run in the order that they appear in the installation script.
--interpreter
=[python|busybox]
Specifies an interpreter to use. The default is busybox.
--timeout=secs
Specifies a timeout for running the script. If the script is not finished when
the timeout expires, the script is forcefully terminated.

=[true|false]
If true, the installation is considered a success even if the %post script
terminated with an error.
%firstboot
Creates an init script that runs only during the first boot. The script has no effect on subsequent boots. If
multiple %firstboot sections are specified, they run in the order that they appear in the kickstart file.
Note You cannot check the semantics of %firstboot scripts until the system is booting for the first time.
A %firstboot script might contain potentially catastrophic errors that are not exposed until after the
installation is complete.
