I would like one of my kickstart scripts to prompt for disk and networking only. Commenting out the disk and network settings makes the installer prompt for disk settings but not for network settings, they default to DHCP. Any idea's how to fix this?
I think you need to have the network settings defined - something like:
network --bootproto static
If you don't give it an IP address (with the --ip option), then it will prompt for it. This is what I do for NFS installs - as my netmask, gateway and nameserver addresses are static, I also give these on the network line.
Does not work, still defaults to DHCP with no prompt. Also if it makes any difference im using v5.1.
I have tried with the 2 network lines shown below in the kickstart file, with and without interactive variable. Still no network configuration screen. :-(
Below is my test kickstart.
