Hello, I'm adapting FC3 to a rather large install-session at the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (around 200 machines). I'm trying to create a %pre-script that does: 1) If the machine is allready installed with RH9, format / and install a fresh FC3, but keep /home (and another partition). 2) If the machine is not previously installed with RH9, create all needed partitions and install a fresh FC3. 3) Detect whether the machine has a SATA-controller, and thus sda should be used for installs, not hda. I'm using the labels of exisiting partitions to determine whether the machine has been installed with RH9 (the other alternative is an old Debian-installation), and which partition contains what. I either case, I want the user to confirm that my script has guessed right, before the installation continues and potentially removes the current /home... How can I interact with the user in the %pre-section? My current script is attached: The interactivity-part in main() is commented out, but the rest of the script runs as expected and creates the correct files under /tmp/. Any hints on how to read input (y/n) from the user and either proceed or abort the installation, are very much appreciated.
