You might try something like this. I haven't tried it on 7.2, but it works
in 3.0:

# change to new virtual terminal and set stout/stdin there
exec < /dev/tty6 > /dev/tty6
chvt 6
# gather you're data with echo and read, etc.

Subject: post installation script question






RH 7.2

Is it possible to run a script that requests user inputs during the post
installation script phase of a kickstart installation?  I'm trying to set
some network configurations based on user inputs with a script at the
bottom of the ks.cfg file in the "%post" section, but I never even see the
"echo" statements that are in the %post section.

Thanks in advance,
