Hi, For most of the options in ks.cfg (RH7.1), it will prompt for required info that is not provided in the file (eg: keyboard layout...). Is there any way to force similar behaviour for the network configuration? It seems as though you're stuck with DHCP, or a full statement in different "ks.cfg"s for each machines? Reasoning for this is a need for a full installation from floppy / CDROM on isolated private networks without DHCP, etc., servers - from a single set of installation media & documentation for non-Linux-skilled technical staff. If I can find a way to do this, I can also detect it in %post, and use the entered address to configure complete "hosts" files, httpd.conf, & other site-specific configs. Any bright ideas anyone?
