custom spin: %post section not being executed

Hello,

I am working on a custom spin of fedora 9.
so far I can get the basic cd created.

I have added several sections to my %post section of my custom kickstart file.
For example:

%post
cat > /home/fedora/.exrc << EOF
set ai ic ts=2 tw=80
EOF
%end

When the cd is created the /home/fedora/.exrc file does not exist.

Do the scripts in my %post section preceed or follow those in the fedora-live-base.ks
assuming that I have 
%include fedora-live-base.ks
at the top of my kickstart file?

Also, how can I add the fedora user to the sudoers list so it has sudo privilleges?

Don, /home/fedora doesn't exist until boot.    The standard way to add 
something to a user folder is to add it to /etc/skel (in post for 
instance).  To add fedora user to sudoers, enable wheel in /etc/sudo (or 
/etc/sudoers ... away from my linux box) and then add fedora to the 
wheel group in /etc/groups
