Subject: rpm question


How does one prompt an RPM installer for input during the
%post section of a spec file.

We tried simple things such as below, but the rpm install
does not wait for user input.

%post
echo -e "Enter your name:\c"
read name

It appears as if the read command is ignored. We have even
tried calling a script from the %post section, but we get
the same result.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
