I just have a few variables in the start of my post section and then later on I echo the HOSTNAME variable into /etc/hostname and also setup /etc/hosts that way.

When I do not specify in my ks.cfg with the lines network --device .... and url --url ... it works rather I want it to work, i.e. the system asks for network information and installation method. But how can I force to ask for the HOSTNAME and DOMAIN ? During installation the HOSTNAME is localhost and DOMAIN is localdomain. Thanks for any help appreciated.
