This is what I did in Core1 to get the network section to come up during a kickstart when there was no entry in the ks.cfg file. It doesn't work anymore. any Ideas?? Copy stage2.img in the Core3/Fedora/base/stage2.img to /tmp mkdir /mnt/img mount -o loop /tmp/stage2.img /mnt/img cd /mnt/img tar cvf /tmp/stage2.tar . cd /tmp mkdir stage2 cd stage2 tar xvf /tmp/stage2.tar in the /tmp/stage2/usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py comment out the line: dispatch.skipStep("network") cd /tmp and umount /mnt/img remove the stage2.tar and the current stage2.img file 'mkcramfs stage2/ stage2.img' to generate the new stage2.img copy the stage2.img back into the source tree CD.
