I am trying to make a Kickstart install of a CentOS 7 VM interactive, by asking for user input in the %pre-install script, as described here.



So far I've managed to get user-entered values and store them in variables. However, how can these be used inside the Kickstart file? Variables aren't evaluated there i.e. network --bootproto=static --device=eth0 --gateway=$MYGATEWAY --ip=$MYIPADDRESS wouldn't work.
