You patched anaconda and now it's not working. Your patch is only two lines. My
guess would be self.ksdata.network is always evaluating as true, which is
causing network to always be skipped. Add some debug code to confirm this.

<font size="-1"><font face="sans-serif">The debug code is what led me
to write the patch. Well, that and some digging around in kickstart.py.<br>
<br>
If you read kickstart.py, it always calls dispatch.skipStep("network"),
no matter whether or not the network configuration is specified. <br>

the patch I posted
actually gets it to work as expected, and not call</font></font><font

<br>
without the patch, the network
configuration step is *always* skipped, no matter whether I specify a
network entry in ks.cfg or not.<br>
<br>
<br>
To put it in more "bug" terms, without the patch underneath, the
following ks.cfg does *not* bring up the network configuration screen,
even though I expect it to.<br>

Mind you, I'm not sure whether my expectations are correct. <br>
<br>
The patch I attached "fixes" this behaviour so that the network
configuration dialog is brought up, if there is no "network" option in
the ks.cfg<br>
