Title: HTTP install of SME 7 - Need a little help
Post by: mrjhb3 on November 02, 2006, 05:48:46 AM

I have created a network HTTP install and upgrade for SME 7.  The install works great.  The upgrade is what I need help on.  The upgrade does upgrade the server, but the post-install event is run instead of the post-upgrade event.

I don't know enough about the install process for CentOS/SME 7.  If you want to give a short tutorial on that, that would be great as well.  I have searched for that, but come up empty in trying to find a site the explains it.  

From what I can tell at some time either the kickstart.py or smeinstallclass.py file is run as I see this being executed:
 script = ( "/sbin/syslogd &\n"
                   "sleep 2\n"
                   "/sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-install\n" )

Is there a parameter that is being passed during the cd-rom install that makes the install run the smeupgradeclass.py that I need to send when trying to do the upgrade? I can see the post-upgrade event in this file.

Here is a copy of my kickstart file that was modified from the anaconda-ks.cfg generated during an install.
