Re: No network selection during Kickstarted FC3RC3 build

[Nick <nick-lists austin rr com>]

Here is a thought!

keyboard us
firewall --enabled --port=22:tcp
selinux --enforcing
authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5


I have this in my ks file. I wonder if the firewall and selinux entries
aren't forcing the script past the network section since I think they
are in the same section (on the same page). I will work this theory out
tomorrow.
