I agree. The less hacking the better. Red Hat could easily put a sleep variable in the init.c that is set at the syslinux command line. Have you type something like: linux network_wait=30 That parameter would then be passed to init which would then wait the specified amount of time. Changing your network configuration to accommodate a operating system install is ridiculous. Jeremy/Paul, opinions? James James S.
