Description James Martin 2004-03-29 11:14:25 EST

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6)

Description of problem:
When doing a CD-ROM based kickstart installation, anaconda does not
prompt the user for network information if it is left out of the
kickstart file.  During a network installation, it will prompt you. 
Why is this left out of the CD-ROM kickstart installations?

I believe it has something to do with the line:

dispatch.skipStep("network")


in kickstarty.py

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-9.1.1-7.RHEL

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Do a CD-based kickstart installation leave out network information.
2. Watch how anaconda won't prompt you for networking information.

Thank you for the suggestion. It was passed along to product
management, but not committed for a future release.
