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

[Pablo Iranzo Gómez]

	I was this evening at IRC channel suggesting to use smth like:

	chvt 3
	echo "Enter IP"
	read IP
	echo "Enter NetMask"
	read NM
	...

	verify data
	...

	create /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 using that
information

	Regards
	Pablo
