Thanx games.....
 
This is what i did
 
1) Mounted stage2.img in loop mode
 
# mount -o loop base/stage2.img   /mnt/boot
 
# cd /mnt/boot/
 
# tar cvf  /usr/local/stage2.tar   *
 
Now once I have the tar of stage2 in my /usr/local/
I then untared it and it is in /usr/local/stage2/ folder
 
No went and commented the skipStep("network") line in kickstart.py located under
the anaconda folder, staved the read only file in vi using wq!
 
Once done used the below command to create the img file.
 
# mkcramfs stage2/ stag2.img
then copied to the base directory....
 
! I hope this is  not wrong, then ? its not working ... also its anaconda-10.1.1 version used in CentOS.....
 
Can u help in this .....

In my experience this is all you have to do. Perhaps you should respond
with your exacts steps you used to disassemble the stage2.img, patch the
kickstart.py and re-create the stage2.img. (I believe it is found in
/usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py inside the stage2.img)
