Agreed...given how powerful these sections can be for truly customizing an installation, the documentation is very, very light. Almost invisible. =) The responders on this list, however, have been excellent resources.

Actually it might be nice to have a little section talking about %pre and %post script strategies and methods.

As for network, are these files still correct after you reboot? Try the archives, I've read something like this before, I think that time Kudzu was to blame...
