I'm betting the RPM program does not have its stdin from your terminal, so it is waiting on the read for the IP, which, even though you enter something, does not get read since your tty is not its stdin. -----Original Message----- From: Glenn Bailey [mailto:gbailey@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2008 07:12 PM To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: simple pre script for user input Playing around with a %pre script for user input, and while this works fine in a normal shell, after I enter an IP it just hangs there and I have to hit alt-f2 and kill the process before it moves forward .. Anyway ideas? Like I said this works fine in a normal shell: %pre chvt 3 clear CONSOLEIP="" YES=n while [ $YES != "y" ] do echo -n "Enter the console IP: " read CONSOLEIP echo "You entered: $CONSOLEIP" echo -n "Is this correct? [y/n]: " read YES done echo $CONSOLEIP > /tmp/CONSOLEIP chvt 1 %end Glenn E.
