Thank you for that. I have done something similar, but all in the %post. I was hoping that there was a way to force the user to use the UI to enter username and password, though.
I suppose moving this to %pre would then allow me to "set" the user account in the main kickstart section using 'user ---name .....'

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.txtThen continue the installation, and in %post section, first %post would be with --nochroot where it will copy that text file to /mnt/sysimage/somelocationAnd 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%endKICKSTART BODY%post --nochrootmv /tmp/test /mnt/sysimage/tmp/test%end%post# Use /tmp/test to perform %post actions%endThanks,Pushpendra Chavan._______________________________________________On Tue, Jun 29, 2021 at 1:39 AM Andrew Simpson <simpsonar77@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: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)._______________________________________________
