I've tested this in Red Hat Linux 6.2, but I don't see any reason why this would be different on RH7.0, so... In kickstart configuration, if you define networking with 'network' + options, it will be set up. If that information is omitted, network won't be configured at all. Would it be possible to code an option like: network --prompt which would ask interactively for the networking to be set up. It could be either: 1) Done first so that networked install would use these and kickstart with bootnet without ks.cfg modifications or DHCP would be possible, or 2) Done later; this would only help for HDD/CD installs. Note: I've noticed that running netconfig after the install will usually cause different network configuration -- and with kickstarts, running it might not always be possible.
