Incorporating Anaconda fixes onto a KS boot CD

[Edward F. Brown]

anaconda-9.1.5.8-1 IS the version included with update 5 (and it did not
appear to fix the problem).  Update 6, available in beta now, includes
anaconda-9.1.6.7-1.RHEL.  The changelog for this version includes:

* Wed Jul 13 2005 Paul Nasrat <pnasrat at redhat.com> - 9.1.6.3-1.RHEL
- multiple NICs fixes for kickstart (clumens, #158556)

so we can only hope, again, that this finally resolves the problem.

In the meantime, filing a support ticket with RedHat is the best way of
keeping this issue on their radar, though be prepared to spend more time
beta-testing solutions.
