[Fedora-livecd-list] eth0 and eth1 in kickstart

[Tim Wood]

I actually posted a slightly newer email that has a solution that I 
thought worked.  NetworkManager does have to be disabled.  It also looks 
like BIND has to be running locally as a caching nameserver (the default 
config I believe...).  I'm running into a failure to start on some 
dhcp-related items so the point about dhclient may prove to be very useful.

I'm still trying to run down a weird problem where the interfaces seem 
to be up but I get network unreachable in certain circumstances.  I'm 
testing a possible solution now.

thanks,
Tim
