As I understand, the '--nochroot' option changes where the destination 
files are. The real location of the root directory is '/mnt/sysimage', 
but when under the chroot environment that %post runs under, it looks 
like it's actually on '/', so install scripts and what not find files 
where they expect them to be.

My problem is figuring out how to get files off the DVD during the %post 
section.
