Yes, that's why the practice of %including *non-generated* kickstart files (e.g. not the %pre snippet stuff, but reall full includes of working kickstart files) needs to become #include, and for this we need to know where the file is and what it's name is to be able to #include it. It's all in the top post of mine. Maybe not in the best of English, so it probably mislead/confused you. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
