First of all please use spell words fully and use proper english.

Second, you still have not told us exactly what you want to do in the post install processing section of KS. You allude to a signal event in an e-emith directory. Kickstart does not handle signals so I assume you are talking about a script of some sort. Please clearly state what you are trying to achieve in the %post section.

my exact problem is that when i am installing the linux through nfs, using anaconda-ks.cfg,
POST INSTALLTION SCRIPT IS NOT RUNNING.
the event that is triggered to run it is..
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-install


this post install manages the creation of users and other configeration changes... like admin password, service ID.


i want to run it from the anaconda-ks.cfg. what should write in %post section. or this is not feasible??
or tell me some way to do it.

A script is not an event - period. Please stop using that terminology. It is confusing and incorrect.

It appears that you wish KS to execute the above script in the KS post-installation section. Well, it is not going to happen unless the script is installed from some RPM and the correct paths, etc. are set up. How are you installing the RPM that contains that script? Are you certain the RPM is correctly installed?
