[TriLUG] Kickstart Question

[Marc Wiatrowski]

If you aren't doing a network install (nfs, url...) I am pretty sure it
will completely ignore
whatever you have or don't have for 'network'

I'm sure you could script the network start up in your %post via dhcp?
The part I'm 
not sure about would be the prompting...
