Kickstart installation via network -- not able to override network settings?

[Shabazian, Chip]

I was suggesting using something like:
network --bootproto=static --ip=10.0.0.2 --netmask=255.255.255.0
--gateway=10.0.0.1
interactive

I'm not sure if that will work or not, I haven't tried it, but give it a
shot.

Hmm, I'm not sure I totally follow here.  You are suggesting throwing in
a RFC1918 IP in kickstart (using bootproto=static) or a bogus IP (like
256.256.2.2)?  Would the latter result in the network dialog being made
available to me?

This is probably the route we'll end up going if there's no way to get
anaconda to present the network config page during installation the way
we want...

Thanks!
