Description of problem: Anaconda writes "NETWORKING=yes" into /etc/sysconfig/network, if network support is installed. But when network support is not installed, it should write NETWORKING=no, because various initscripts rely on the availability of such a definition. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 7.3.92-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Perform fresh installation without network support. Look at /etc/sysconfig/network afterwards. Actual Results: Should contain NETWORKING=no. Expected Results: Does not contain NETWORKING=no. Additional info: A related bug exists in redhat-config-network, which does not write NETWORKING=yes if network support components are added after installation and the network is configured.
What do you mean when 'no networking support is installed'? You mean if there are no ethernet ports on the machine?
https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/valhalla-list/2002-July/008137.html Sorry, it should have been filed against Valhalla. I'm unable to reproduce it with Limbo, neither with a minimal installation. Even when no Ethernet device is installed, it puts "NETWORKING=yes".
