I want the user to enter as much as possible at the very beginning of
the process, then walk away and the installation should continue after
that 100% unattended.
It's very handy if you have to build dozens of servers ASAP. ;-)
since you are going this in %pre rather than %post, i presume some of
the choices a user makes at this stage will influence the installer in
someway ?
Yes. All systems are the same, except a few small differences. It's
those differences that the installer must ask.
And now I have the solution.
Apparently, %pre is displayed on tty3, but the input is still on tty1.
Ugly, but we have to deal with it. So, this is a %pre that works fine:
%pre
chvt 3
exec < /dev/tty3 > /dev/tty3
echo -n "Enter blah: "
# If tee is available
echo -n Enter blah: | tee /dev/tty1
# Otherwise
echo -n >/dev/tty Enter blah:
read blah
echo $blah > /tmp/ks-blah
chvt 1
exec < /dev/tty1 > /dev/tty1
