Good day, I've been doing some research on prompting for manual network settings in the %pre section of a kickstart file and it appears that anaconda isn't behaving as some people think that it should. According to a couple of threads (I believe on) the kickstart-list and/or the anaconda-devel-list, the ks.cfg file is supposed to be re-read after the %pre section script is executed. On a RHEL2.1ASU5 install, this re-read doesn't seem to be happening. In my ks.cfg I have "network --bootproto dhcp --device eth0" and then in the %pre section I prompt for network configuration information and then use sed to change the "network" line, redirect the output to a temporary file and then copy this temp file back to /tmp/ks.cfg. Here are some of the threads I've checked out: https://www.redhat.com/archives/kickstart-list/2004-March/msg00075.html http://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2003-June/msg00149.ht ml (this thread indicates ks.cfg is re-read) So, my question is: Is ks.cfg re-read after the %pre section? What could be my problem if it is? I would like to get the network configuration in the %pre section so the installer can answer the questions and then move on to the next install. Thanks for your help, Andy.
