I hear you brother lol.
If I didnt have enough reason to write custom network scripts for
Linux Firewalls before I definitely do now.
well well see Ill give it a try but my problem is did they update
anaconda because the version in fedora doesn't allow you to use the
--asknetwork option for kickstarts. thats a huge problem for me in
many of my data centers which don't have DHCP because there are VP's
and managers in my company who were once engineers and are still under
the impression that DHCP is a desktop tech not suitable for use data
centers. further more I know my company isn't the only one that thinks
that way.
