Looks like your %post script doesn't have tty3 attached to its stdin. I wouldn't know why (perhaps somebody else later today?), but I would try something like read -e number < /dev/tty3. Might just work although I don't think it is really pretty. - Wouter.

I user the chvt 3 command to switch the window but am still have some problems. Here is what my %post looks like: chvt 3 #!/bin/bash number=0 #Prompt user for input #until [ $number -eq 1 -o $number -eq 2 ]; do until [ "$number" = "1" -o "$number" = "2" ]; do echo "Please insert python disk then hit 1 and return" echo " 1) Install Python" echo " 2) Exit" read -e number done echo "number is" $number do.....something if 1 is chosen and something else if 2 is chosen My screen changes to terminal 3 and I see the message asking me to insert the python disk and choose a number but then, regardless of what number I enter (1, 3,666 etc) nothing happens. I can just keep entering numbers followed by a return and I never see the line "number is xx" printed to the screen. I tried both types of until statements that you see above and I also tried this without a until statement. I had the same results in all three cases. Any idea on what I am doing wrong?
