Description of problem: I do not want any NM controlled interfaces and my kickstart file forbids NM installation with lines -NetworkManager -NetworkManager-gnome -NetworkManager-gtk -NetworkManager-openconnect -NetworkManager-openvpn -NetworkManager-pptp -NetworkManager-vpnc -evolution-NetworkManager in %packages section (and NM really isn't installed), and my "network" keywords specifies interfaces as: network --onboot yes --device eth0 --bootproto static --ip 192.168.1.224 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --noipv6 --nameserver 192.168.1.254,127.0.0.1 --hostname janinka.resro.home 1) anaconda still creates interfaces with 'NM_CONTROLLED="yes"' in "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-IFACE" files 2) "network" service is not activated Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-16.25 Expected results: - ifcfg-IFACE will have 'NM_CONTROLLED="no"' - network service should be perhaps activated too (but not so important as 1))
NetworkManager is the standard mechanism for configuring network interfaces in Fedora, and is how a part of the core installation set. We will not be adding code to write out a separate set of network configuration just because you don't want NM.
I cannot agree with You, as NetworkManager is 1) still erroneous in certain situations, and 2) often there are scenarios, where NetworkManager is useless and/or unwanted. Perhaps not only for me. Thus IMO anaconda _should_ allow configure system without NM.
