But you are correct. But the Minimal install off the full install iso does the same. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Is that different from the standard install?? Does that one activate interfaces regardless?> nor does it appear to install perl, based on some recent experience.I think you and I probably differ about what a "minimal" system is.? I expect a system that has networking and yum, and everything else should be added by the admin's config manager of choice.

Does that one activate interfaces regardless?I don?t do unmanaged installs that often, but last I tried, if you boot off and install from a CD/DVD it doesn?t bring up the network by default. If you boot off the network (or use the virt-install -l URL method) it brings up a network, since it obviously is installing off the same network. -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>
