The %pre section defines any actions that
kickstart must perform before installation. This section is
optional.
For example, the following %pre section runs
the script config-partitions that is stored
on an HTTP server and downloads a list of packages for use with
a %include /tmp/package-list statement in the
%packages section.
%pre %include http://192.168.1.100/scripts/config-partitions wget -q -O- http://192.168.1.100/scripts/package-list > /tmp/package-list %end
In this example, the wget command saves the package list in kickstart's file system, which exists as a ramdisk in memory.
An included script or file must be accessible at the specified path or URL.
As name service is not available before installation, you must
use IP addresses instead of domain names in the
%pre section or in any script that it
includes.
