Re: Require user account setup during kickstart install before %post?

Hi,

You can write a %pre script which would force ask user to enter username and password or any other information and then write that information down in a /tmp/somefile.txt 
Then continue the installation, and in %post section, first %post would be with --nochroot  where it will copy that text file to /mnt/sysimage/somelocation
And then from that location, it would utilize that information and act accordingly.

You can write the %pre section as follows. I have tested this on RHEL7

%pre
exec < /dev/tty7 > /dev/tty7
chvt 7
echo "Enter Manual Information in given format"
read MYINFO
echo $MYINFO >/tmp/test
chvt 1
%end
KICKSTART BODY

%post --nochroot
mv /tmp/test /mnt/sysimage/tmp/test
%end

%post
# Use /tmp/test to perform %post actions
%end

Thanks,
Pushpendra Chavan.

Is it possible to require/force a user to enter in their user account information before the install gets to the %post section via the graphical installer?  I need everything else to be automated, except this step, and need to modify that user's groups in the "post" section.  It appears that if nothing is entered via the GUI during install, that the install will complete without it.  (root is setup as part of the ks).
