Extracting variables from within ks.cfg, interpreted from command-line

[Shabazian, Chip]

That works just as well, but I'm not sure why you would be having problems with my original line.  It works perfect for me, and hasn't failed in over 1000 builds.

in this line: IP=ifconfig $ETH | grep inet | cut -d : -f 2 | cut -d " "\ -f 1

change for: IP=ifconfig $ETH | grep "inet addr" | awk '1{print $2,$5 }'\
| awk -F :  '1{print $2 }'

the result is = in both lines :D
