I agree.  The less hacking the better.  Red Hat could easily put a sleep 
variable in the init.c that is set at the syslinux command line.  Have you 
type something like:

linux network_wait=30

That parameter would then be passed to init which would then wait the 
specified amount of time.  Changing your network configuration to 
accommodate a operating system install is ridiculous.

Jeremy/Paul, opinions?
