I guess I could yell at myself as I'm doing kickstart installs from
a local mirror.
I found the same thing on two CentOS 5.1 installs here, one on a
VMware VM, the other on real iron. The wierd thing is that the
base VMware VM I have that I copy to create new VMs looks OK.
Now I'm going to have to poke around to see what's causing this
line to be deleted.
