Along with disabling the avahi service in my kickstart files, I also add "NOZEROCONF=yes" to /etc/sysconfig/network. That way the service does not start and the 169.254.x.x IP doesn't get added to the interface. It's not hard to do after the fact, but putting simple things like that in a kickstart file prevents one from doing all the mundane, mind numbing sys admin tasks. :) HTH, Ranbir -- Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu
