Calling yum from within a kickstart file in fc6pre

[Mogens Kjaer]

For FC <= 5, I could call yum during the
kickstart installation from the %post section.

When I do this in FC6-pre, I get the following error:

/usr/bin/yum -y install nautilus-open-terminal
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in ?
     yummain.main(sys.argv[1:])
   File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 85, in main

   File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 192, in getOptionsConfig
     errorlevel=opts.errorlevel)

     if self.unixsocket:

I've repeated it several times, always the same error.

It works fine after installation, no "connection refused".

- or is there a smarter way of doing this?
