If you're trying to set a static IP address on the machine where you're running anaconda, it's somewhat tricky. You need to use the dracut syntax for ip=: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Dracut/Options#Network However, this raises the question of why you're doing it at all. If you just pass sshd and no ip= parameter at all, anaconda will automatically use DHCP on the first network interface, which should do the job in most cases. Then you just find out the IP address the machine got from DHCP, and ssh to that address. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
