This is what I use in my command section: %include /tmp/partinfo And this is in my %pre: ETH=`grep DEVICE /tmp/netinfo | cut -d = -f 2` IP=`ifconfig $ETH | grep inet | cut -d : -f 2 | cut -d " " -f 1` NETMASK=`ifconfig $ETH | grep inet | cut -d : -f 4` GATEWAY=`route -n| grep "^0.0.0.0" | cut -b 17-32 | cut -d " " -f 1` HOSTNAME=`grep HOSTNAME /tmp/netinfo | cut -d = -f 2 | cut -d . -f 1` cat << EOF > /tmp/buildnet network --device $ETH --bootproto static --ip=$IP --netmask=$NETMASK --gateway=$ GATEWAY --hostname=$HOSTNAME EOF This works every time, whether you get your IP address from DHCP, or specify it on the command line.

Can you post your kickstart file?
