Hi Jake,
In the %pre section of the ks file, I run a python script that
is VERY derived from the anaconda network_text.py code. This allows the
installer to input the required network info. After which the rest of
the install is automated. I can prefill the subnet, ip to last octet,
DNS server... If you don't have fancy requirements, you should be able
to import network_text *, and call the various modules from anaconda to
provide netconfig functionality. Yeah Kickstart! And long live yum.
Cobbler has a way of keeping track of all of these variables and filling
in these sections automatically.
See this customized section that Robin Bowes contributed today:
https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/KickstartSnippets#Networkconfiguration
This allows you to do things like:
cobbler system add --name=foo --hostname=foo.example.com --ip=X ...
and have everything substituted into all the kickstarts correctly based
on the system that you are installing.

So we can't use netconfig in RHEL5 kickstarts anymore to set the IP
during the installation phase. I can't seem to get the setup-tool to run
on first boot (where you can config the net card, turn off SELinux,
etc.).
Am I missing something obvious, or does everyone else who has a need for
this just script it in the kickstart file?
Thanks for any suggestions.
