Patrick, Thanks for the speedy reply. > > Take a look at setInstallData() in kickstart.py. > self.readKickstart() gets called twice, once before %pre and > once after (or at least it does so in RHEL 3). > The kickstart.py in RedHat/instimg/usr/lib/anaconda on a RHEL2.1ASU5 disc only calls self.readKickstart() once :\ I guess I could patch my kickstart.py to read it twice. I'll check that file on 3 or later and modify mine accordingly to see if that works :) > > > 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. > > Why not take the network setting out of your kickstart file > and have anaconda prompt for it with it's own network screen? > >From what I've read in other threads, when doing a CDROM-based kickstart on distros before RHEL3, anaconda doesn't care if "network" is missing and uses DHCP automatically and doesn't prompt. I can certainly try it though :) I'll try that first since I don't have to mess with modifying anaconda. Thanks for your help, Andy.
