Google searches and the Redhat documentation have let me Well then, how's it to know which interface to use to get the ks file? If you're using PXE (or similar) put the ks file in the initrd. If you're booting from floppy, put the ks file on that. I _think_ that with more recent Anaconda you can play games in %pre to generate more ks info which you %include. Check the docs. One final thought, if your NIC through which you install uses a different driver from all the others, only have that one driver available at install time. Possibly, depending on the driver, you can locate what's being usedto creat modules.conf and force the driver to only recognise one NIC. > down.
