# 5 Custom Post-Install Package

You can use the script `pkgmaker.sh` to create a custom package for post install, the idea is to have it install and configure any special things you may need done. `pkgmaker` is run in the directory above the package you wish to create with the single argument of the package (i.e., mypkg) which will then create a mypkg.tgz for you to include in your sysinstall package.

Inside your custom package dir you will want a file called `PLIST` which contains all the files that you wish to install and be incorporated into your package.

You will also want files called `pre` and `post` in the directory, these are shell scripts that you want to execute before and after your package is installed.

Since this package is in your `install.cfg` file it should be run and do the final configuration for you.
