RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

At the moment, RHEL6 installation process is a bit weird. If I make a mistake during the network configuration, the installation will fail on downloading installation images. I am propted to enter valid URL with installation images but this is useless in case my network is not properly configured.
At this moment, I cannot "go back" to the network setup dialog and check/update the network settings. On the other hand, I can go back to tha "Choose language" dialog (IMHO not very useful at this point).

Therefore I think it would be useful to be able to re-set network settings.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
always, install RHEL6.1 via network and enter e.g. invalid dns server

Changes to network configuration workflow during installation need to be addressed in Fedora first.  RHEL-6's state transition flow in anaconda does not easily allow us to let users change their network settings.  The general requirement during installation over the network is to keep using that network to complete installation.  We are working on a UI overhaul to address state transition flow in anaconda, which will most likely incorporate improvements to the network configuration steps during installation...possibly similar to the one you describe.
