Description Jeff Domogala 2022-10-06 02:04:25 UTC 
Description of problem:
The livemedia-creator install is to a disk image. In RHEL 7 I was able to mount the install ISO in /mnt/install/repo and use the following kickstart url install method:
url --url="file:///mnt/install/repo"
With the same install method used in RHEL 9, livemedia-creator now throws the following message and exits:
The kickstart must activate networking if the url or nfs install method is used.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lorax-34.9.14-1.el9.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create the file test.ks with just one line:
url --url="file:///mnt/install/repo"
2. Run the following command:
livemedia-creator --no-virt --make-disk --ks=test.ks --image-only --dracut-arg=--no-hostonly --image-name image.tmp

Actual results:
The command fails with the following output:
[root@localhost i95code]# livemedia-creator --no-virt --make-disk --ks=test.ks --image-only --dracut-arg=--no-hostonly --image-name image.tmp
2022-10-04 12:52:13,684: livemedia-creator v34.9.14-1
2022-10-04 12:52:13,684: selinux is Disabled
2022-10-04 12:52:13,737: The kickstart must activate networking if the url or nfs install method is used.
2022-10-04 12:52:13,737: The kickstart must activate networking if the url or nfs install method is used.


Expected results:
2022-10-04 15:45:52,314: livemedia-creator v34.9.14-1
2022-10-04 15:45:52,314: selinux is Disabled
2022-10-04 15:45:52,370: disk_img = /var/tmp/image.tmp
2022-10-05 15:45:52,370: Using disk size of 2MiB
2022-10-05 15:45:52,371: Running anaconda.
and then anaconda will continue to install if there is a valid repo located at /mnt/install/repo

Additional info:lorax-28.14.68-1
This also affects the lorax that is shipped with the current RHEL 8.6 (lorax-28.14.68-1).
I already brought this issue up with the github lorax team and they have the following PR to resolve it: https://github.com/weldr/lorax/pull/1273
Comment 2 Jan Stodola 2022-11-24 11:35:39 UTC 
Reproduced with lorax-34.9.20-1.el9.
Verified with lorax-34.9.21-1.el9, 'url --url="file://..."' can be used without the network command in the kickstart file.

Marking as Verified:Tested.
Comment 5 Jan Stodola 2022-11-25 16:18:11 UTC 
Checked that lorax-34.9.21-1.el9 is in nightly compose RHEL-9.2.0-20221125.1
