Yes - you should be able to simply put any bash commands you want to run after the installation is finished in the "%post" section of the kickstart file.  It's helpful to set up some logging of it so you can analyze after the fact what it did and didn't do.

%post --interpreter /bin/bash
#Install wget, because minimal doesn't come with it
yum -y install wget

cd /root
wget <YOUR SERVER>/file.tar.gz &> kickstart.log
tar -zxvf file.tar.gz &> kickstart.log
cd file &> kickstart.log
echo "Now making...." &> kickstart.log
make all &> kickstart.log

%end

Hi,

Brand new to Cobbler and I have a working Centos 7 cobbler kickstart to kickstart a minimal Centos 7. What I want to do is install a specific tar package from source.

My plan was to:
1. Transfer the file over. (No sure how to do this, I've tried adding fetchable files but I haven't been able to make it work).
2. Use a snippet in post install to "tar xvf -C /destination && cd /destination && make all" or something similar to that.

Can anyone point me to an example of this, or make recommendations on other ways to do it?

Thanks,
Brian
