Hi Ben On my computer, the input is read from "VT 3", so, in order to use keyboard what I do is: chvt 3 echo "Message" echo -e "\e[2J;1HMessage on serial visor" > /dev/ttyS2 EXIT=0 while [ "$EXIT" == "0" ] do some commands done Try appending that "chvt 3" on your script before your command Regards Pablo On Wed, 5 Sep 2007, Ben Grommes wrote: > My kickstart script reads user input in the %pre scriptlet using the read > command.
