Liz,

I just went and tried it and the "Red Hat" install gui
(standard one shown during "ip/hostname" query, still had "eth0"
in the titlebar of what it was seaching for.  I was then
defautled to the ipaddr setup screen again.

Is there something hardcoded into the kickstart process where it
defaults to eth0 despite what is specified in the ksfile?

It made no attempts to try to reach eth1, just gave me the setup
screen.

Thanks
