N/A
>Description:
When creating a install.cfg for an unattended installation, I specified
tryRTSOL=NO so it wouldn't prompt me for IPv6 configuration of my
network interfaces. Unfortunately, it still prompted me for it. From
looking at the code, tryDHCP=NO would produce the same result.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try an unattended install specifying tryRTSOL=NO. It will still prompt you
asking if you want to Configure IPv6 for your network interface.
>Fix:
Quick work around:
Use tryRTSOL=ASDF or some other nonsensical value
Patch:
I think this should do it. I wasn't able to rebuild it to check
to see if it works, but the logic is there.
