Hey again folks,
How can I save answers to questions in %pre, for use in %post?
I'm assuming (though have not yet tried) that variables won't live that long.
Could I save them off to /tmp in a file, and retrieve them?
e.g.
%pre echo "VARNAME=$VARNAME" >> /tmp/varfile
%post grep ^VARNAME= /tmp/varile
Or some such ...
--- Never used %pre or how that part really functions but where is the temp file stored, ram ? Why not store it in memory registers or I have your idea wrong?
