static network configuration ask

[Shabazian, Chip]

If you can use DHCP to assign the network address, even for just the
first boot, that makes life the easiest.  Otherwise, you can create a
kickstart file that simply takes the values entered on the boot: line
and creates a static network entry for them in %pre that is then
included in the command section.
 
Search the archives and you will find lots of references to both of the
above.

Subject: static network configuration ask


Is there an option that will allow me to automate everything in
kickstart except just the network portion so that I can have the same
kickstart config for a bunch of clustered hosts but input the network
information myself?   

The reason I ask is because I would like to automate a lot of other
stuff in %post  or on first boot but need networking to be set up
properly by the time that stuff runs or it will screw all of that up.

Thanks in advance
