Why?? It should do MTU discovery on its own or use a sane default value. What method are you using to boot the machine?? cd, floppy, network (PXE), grub?? > I've been googling a bit for this, but couldn't find any doc :( I routinely boot either from grub or PXE on a local network and pull the ks-cfg file from a remote http server.
