I am building an install program for a large number of servers but I need some interaction with the user. In particular, I want anaconda to always show the network setup screen. Does anyone know how to do this?
On network line of ks.cfg I have tried:
network
network --static
leaving out network completely
DHCP addresses are always used. In my environment, the IP address will almost always be static and in some places DHCP is not available. The users would prefer to simply set up the network during the installation. Can this be done?

I copied this from previously saved email:
This gets asked pretty frequently. Unfortunately the answer is no.
However, you can use the "interactive" line in your kickstart file to
show all the screens in the installer with the values from the kickstart
file already populated in the screen. That way, you can just click
"Next" through all the screens until you get to the networking screen.
After making your changes, keep clicking next until you're finished.
The explanation for interactive from the documentation is:
interactive:
Uses the information provided in the kickstart file during the
installation, but allow for inspection and modification of the values
given. You will be presented with each screen of the installation
program with the values from the kickstart file. Either accept the
values by clicking Next or change the values and click Next to continue.

Hope this helps,
