static network configuration ask

[Ed Brown]

I'm here reviewing my kickstart file because I think the answer is 
much simpler than suggestions so far, and I'm wondering if I'm 
forgetting something.  I don't think so.  This is the network line in 
the kickstart file:

network --bootproto=static

Then don't wait for anaconda to prompt for parameters, just enter them 
at the 'boot:' prompt:

boot: ip=blah gateway=blah netmask=blah dns=blah

I don't think it's necessary to do any processing of /proc/cmdline or 
includes etc, this is it.
