%post in ubuntu kickstart

[Rohit Kumar Mehta]

Hi Stephen, I looked in my ks.cfg, and have been using a %post without 
an %end

However my post "%post --interpreter=/bin/bash" does run inside the 
/target.  I found some things difficult to do through the bash script, 
so one of the actions in the post was to cd to /etc/rc2.d and download a 
perl script with wget and chmod +x it.  The perl script is my real 
finish script.  It runs upon first boot, and then deletes itself.  I 
like the solution very much.
