Re: Interactively prompting for a piece of install data

Yes, possible. Take a look at this article for an example:

http://www.redhatmagazine.com/2007/07/31/solutions-from-the-road-how-to-get-the-%e2%80%9creal%e2%80%9d-hostname-registered-during-satellite-provisioning-or-how-to-avoid-the-dreaded-%e2%80%9cunknown%e2%80%9d-hostname/

That asks for the hostname, but you could ask different questions. You can also parse /proc/cmdline for custom parameters passed at boot time.

Subject: Interactively prompting for a piece of install data

Hi all,

I'm new to kickstart and was wondering if it was possible to ask a single question, i.e. root password, during a kickstart install and automate anything else. If it is, how is this accomplished?
