Bug #134886 is still there since fedora core 3 times. It means that
NetworkManager will happily shutdown the interfaces, ignore any
settings you've put in anaconda and wipe out /etc/resolv.conf if you
happen not to use dhcp. Like in a lab, where desktops and servers
tend not to wander around so much and dhcp is used only for laptops.
Just disable NetworkManager in your kickstart file.
- you can't just chkconfig NM out. It looks like it's
started by
gnome itself, or maybe hal, so one has to study their "my wheel is
better than your wheel" startup configuration. Or maybe not. Dunno
really.
Yes you can. My machine isn't running NetworkManager, and has a network.
And it's definitely installed.
- if you try to yum remove it, you lose evolution,
krb5-auth-dialog, libpurple, nautilus-sendto and pidgin.
nautilus-sendto certainly doesn't require it. Probably
evolution-data-server requiring it.
- once you rpm -e --nodeps it, you find out that the
"network" service
is not on by default either (liveCD install)
I find the idea of having to do a pair of rpm -e in kickstart kinda
demented. Is there a saner answer?
A live CD install on servers? You're walking all over your use cases :)
