You can use chvt (and possibly exec with redirection) to switch to another
virtual termnial (usually VT3) in the %pre script, ask a user for input, then
switch back to VT1 (or 6 if you didn't specify a text based kickstart) and let
the kickstart continue.

Thanks.  Useful and right on the point.  I even tried to use a google query with the
basic terms from the provide URL's but if they were there, they were lost in the noise.

Thanks again.  Now to go and implement.
