This functionality is important (to me and my users) and seems to bear documenting. I realize that there may not be many users of scripted installs who care about this, so even a reference to the source code in sysinstall/tcpip.c would be acceptable. /* * netDev can be set to several types of values. * If netDev is set to ANY, scan all network devices * looking for a valid link, and go with the first * device found. netDev can also be specified as a * comma delimited list, with each network device * tried in order. netDev can also be set to a single * network device. */ There are two places in sysinstall.8 where the usage of netDev is described. Thanks, in advance, for considering this request.
