Yes, I can establish the connection. But at the point when the GUI asks
for the network connection the interface does not have the IP address
yet. I verify this on another console with 'ifconfig' and 'ip a l'.
In the %post section I can do wget and other things, so there does not
seem to be the problem. And once I confirm the eth0 interface in gui it
gets the ks.cfg network config and install with the configured repo works.
Still I think the repo command cannot be used because I don't have the
interface configured on kernel command line to get the ks.cfg. I use the
local floppy disk with 'ks=floppy'
