   There seems to be no clear docs on how to copy files from the install 
media using kickstart in the %post section... I'm hoping someone here 
can help. :)

   I've got a custom CentOS 4.6 install DVD with a kickstart script and 
an added directory (cdrom:/foo) with a pile of files I need to copy to 
the hard drive. I've tried:

%post
cp -Rp /foo /root/

   Nope

%post
cp -Rp /mnt/source/foo /root/

   Nope

%post
mkdir /mnt/cdrom
mkdir -t iso9660 /tmp/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
cp -Rp /mnt/cdrom/foo /root/

Nope

   Can someone pull out the clue stick and beat me with it? It'd be much 
appreciated!
