[Bug 1428589] Re: Awk command not working in %pre section of ks.cfg file

[Colin Watson]

Yes, awk is not and won't be available in the installer environment,
which is very stripped-down and minimal.  You can generally rewrite such
things using sed, which is available; or in some cases it's possible to
arrange to run commands in the installed system instead, e.g. with
"%post" rather than "%post --nochroot".

Title:
  Awk command not working in %pre section of ks.cfg file

Status in system-config-kickstart package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  We are customizing Ubuntu 12.04.5 and 14.X using kickstart ks.cfg file. We have seen that our shell scripts are failing as AWK ,CUT commands etc are not working during the pre installation phase i.e., in the busy box those commands are not there.
  But once the installation is completed the commands are working fine.
