If like me you have never had to mess with the stage2.img file to fix installations issues, below shows what is required.

cd ~ wget http://yourwebserver/centos5-dvd/images/stage2.img mkdir tmp mount -t squashfs -o loop stage2.img ./tmp cd tmp vi ./usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py # comment out dispatch.skipStep("network") at around line 876 or use Ray's patch.

hmm, isn't this editing the file on a read-only file system?

Oops......yes, not going to do much good editing the ro file system!

Sorry.

...

mkdir ../new-stage2 tar cf - . | ( cd ../new-stage2/ ; tar xf - . )

I suspect here is where you need to cd ../new-stage2 and edit kickstart.py

...

cd .. yum -y install squashfs-tools mksquashfs ./new-stage2/ stage2.img.new

Now replace the stage2.img file on the web server with the stage2.img.new file, renamed to stage2.img of course.
