Shame on you Kurt for thinking that Red Hat should pander to your SuSE
driven expectations.
Though I'm not much interested in the thread anymore, I still find the
psychology of it all pretty interesting.
In essence, it is similar to people fleeing California (because California

Am 09. Aug, 2007 schw�tzte Craig White so:
hostname ethernet configurations, date/time, etc. are also part of the
'firstboot' routine which apparently wasn't included in your 'image'
either - too bad...not Red Hat's fault.
