RHEL 5.4

I'm trying to use %include statements in my kickstarts, and am running into some problems.

In %pre, I can %include /mnt/source/isolinux/setup-questions and that works just fine. One of the things it does is echo out several variables to /tmp/vars In %post --nochroot, I copy /tmp/vars to /mnt/sysimage/tmp/vars so I can access /tmp/vars in %post That works just fine.

The problem is when I try to include files I've copied to /tmp In %pre, I can copy my include files to /tmp/ks-files/, and I've verified that they are, indeed, copied. The files exist, are readable, have the correct content. But if, in %pre, I %include /tmp/ks-files/setup-questions, kickstart simple sails right on past. In %post, again, I can drop to a shell and see that /tmp/ks-files/* are all there, but the first %include bombs out with an error about the file not existing.

What's the secret to getting this to work?

Anyone?
