Running kickstart after interface startup

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I need to get some input from the user and use that to select one of
many kickstart methods for installation of a customised Red Hat 7.2.

One way to do this is by putting up a text-mode (snack) screen before
instClass is instantiated (somewhere around line 400 of anaconda).
After that, depending on the user inputs, you can init instClass with
a call to Kickstart() with the appropriate file name and skip the
customClass and DefaultInstall calls.

The question: Is it safe to re-init instClass /after/ the UI has
started up (i.e. after the call to intf.run() )?  If that were so you
could ask the user questions in GUI mode, throw away the original
instClass and create a new one from Kickstart().  Of course, the code
would transfer initialised data (installData, currently set language,
keyborad, mouse, etc) from the old instClass to the new one.

Regards,
