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

Asked by lahari

Hi Team,

We are customizing Ubuntu 12.X 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.

Busybox is a very basic command set, so won't have awk and cut. The installed OS will obviously have these commands.

But We need AWK command for our shell scripts as part of pre install phase in the installation. We are using ks.cfg file similar to that of Redhat kickstart installation.
