Here is what I did in my %post section and works fine: %post exec < /dev/tty3 > /dev/tty3 chvt 3 clear dialog --title "Enter Name" --backtitle "loonix (C) 2003 loonix - A Canadian Linux Distribution" --no-cancel --inputbox "Please enter your real name(first and last)" 8 60 2>/tmp/name.$$ SEL=$? NA2=`cat /tmp/name.$$` case $SEL in 0) chfn -f "$NA2" $NA >/dev/null 2>&1 ;; 1) echo "Cancel is Pressed" ;; 255) echo "[ESCAPE] key pressed" ;; esac rm -f /tmp/name.$$ PS/ Make sure the dialog rpm is installed!

Smith Sent: 17 November 2003 16:16 To: anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: User input from script in %post? I'd like to write a %post script (Python, if it matters) that prompts the user for a string. I'd like it to appear in a dialog box. I'm using text mode only, if that makes a difference. If I just print and read from stdout/in, it appears on a different tty. I'd like it to be on the main tty, and hopefully in a dialog box. Any pointers would be appreciated.
