RE: help with network configuration

From: Gianluca Varenni [mailto:[email protected]] 
Is there a way in the kickstart configuration file to tell anaconda to
configure the network interfaces with some parameters (e.g. DHCP vs
static IP, onboot…) but do *not* bring them up during installation (so
in practice just write the ifcfg-ethX files)?

I tried with

 

network  --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth0 --onboot=on –hostname=myhost

 

but the problem is that during the installation it tries to bring eth0
up and get the IP address (eventually timing out).

If I don’t put that line in the kickstart file, all the interfaces are
silently configured for DHCP and onboot=yes, and the hostname is not
configured.

 

Don’t configure the network in the kickstart and write the hostname
configuration from the %post section; or configure a dummy IP with the
network option  then edit the network configuration in %post?
