Thanks for the pointers. It's possible that this is something that was
introduced in SL5.3. I have only resumed my kickstart development just
recently. I was using SL5.2 previously and did not have this problem.

By the way, someone sent me this privately:

	network --device eth1 --onboot no --bootproto dhcp


Thanks again,

Chris
