10.11.1. 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 the using the
--nochroot
option in the section.
%post
To make any changes to the newly installed file system in the post-installation section outside of the
chroot environment, you must prepend the directory name with .
/mnt/sysimage/
For example, if you select Run outside of the chroot environment, the previous example needs to
be changed to the following:
echo "Hackers will be punished!" > /mnt/sysimage/etc/motd

To specify a scripting language to use to execute the script, select the Use an interpreter option

%post --interpreter
in your kickstart file.
