Re: cfagent 2.1.10 fail to run during kickstart post install

[Chip Seraphine]

This might not be too helpful, but I had similar experience with 2.1.6 and 
later on Mandrake 9.2 and 10.0.  Due to the difficulty of debugging in the ks 
environment, I eventually just had kickstart drop a file called 
"S99cfbootstrap" in /etc/rc3.d that simply runs my cfengine install script 
and then moves itself to /var/tmp afterwards.  Somewhat cheesy hack, but it 
gets the job done.  Admins just have to know that the first reboot after the 
jumpstart does a cfengine install, so they need to let it stay up and on the 
network for a few minutes.
