Thanks Ed. I'll try that and report back. It's still a little more complicated than I would have liked as this will be used by people other than myself. It really simplifies all the scripting I was doing in %post to force it to work despite the difficulties. :-) It would be much slicker if there were an "ask" option to the network or if it didn't default to dhcp :-(
Inputting the parameters at the boot prompt prevents defaulting to dhcp initially. Leaving them out means defaulting to dhcp attempts, but then you WILL get "ask"ed. The problem there is that I don't think those answers are properly turned into final network configurations (ifcfg-ethN, /etc/sysconfig/network, /etc/hosts), without some %pre/%post help.
