In my discoveries, trials, tribulations and results of all the kickstart learning I did last month, I found that there is NO simple way, if ANY way to eject the CDROM in the %post area of the kickstart. I found some crazy wacky things through a few random google hits, but they were so wacky and so far beyond me, I didn't even bother. The concensus I seem to be getting from folks I consider quite knowledgable is, it can't be done. Now, I'd say that's a limitation I didn't want to accept, but, after you get past a very early stage in the installation, say, after your NFS install has begun, you can go ahead and eject the disc then, which basically means, just deal... *shrugs* :) I wish it were otherwise!!
good luck, and if you do find a simple solution, please let me know! :) laters, David McD On Thu, 24 Mar 2005 14:33:37 -0500, Matt Frye <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thu, 24 Mar 2005 12:03:25 -0500, David W.
