NetworkManager does that. Therefore, we don't require netinfo anymore. anaconda can get all that from dbus instead of having to write out a file and read it back in again later. > 2) In the current EL6 beta, the "list-harddrives" command inside the > anaconda environment is totally broken if you have a CDROM drive.

They do not recieve much of any testing or fixing. - Chris _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
