However, it will break the older blades. How about something like this in PRE: if [ -n "dmidecode | grep 8678" ] ; then echo "network --bootproto dhcp --device eth1" > /tmp/ksnet else echo "network --bootproto dhcp --device eth0" > /tmp/ksnet fi Then %include /tmp/ksnet where you would normally put the network line. Since you mention serial numbers, you could also use that in your tests. Phil
