Description Florian La Roche 2007-05-28 18:24:50 UTC
Description of problem:

Installing the current F7 tree and booting with "noipv6" and then also
keeping IPv6 disabled during the network setup still keeps ipv6 enabled
on the system. I haven't found any place in anaconda writing out a
file to /etc/modprobe.d/ which disables ipv6.


./ChangeLog-2007-04-17  David Cantrell  <dcantrell>
./ChangeLog-
./ChangeLog-    * network.py (Network.write): Do not write out NETWORKING_IPV6 line
./ChangeLog-    to /etc/sysconfig/network anymore, initscripts does not use it.
./ChangeLog-    Instead, write a file to /etc/modprobe.d containing
./ChangeLog:    'install ipv6 /bin/true' in the cases where users want the IPv6
./ChangeLog-    stack completely disabled.


regards,

Florian La Roche

        * network.py (Network.write): Do not write out a disable-ipv6 file
        in /etc/modprobe.d if the user has disabled IPv6 during
        install (#237642).
