Can you tell us what you type (the kernel parameters) in order to specify that you are installing from a kickstart?

Greetings, Sorry to bother but I've tried to do my homework first, to no avail... I'm kickstarting the standard SL6.1 install DVD from a USB key to provide an unattended install. I've tried everything I can find to try to prevent the networkmanager popup to configure the ethernet interface during the install (occurs immediately after disk partitioning). I've tried many different forms of the kickstart network command to fully configure eth0 or leaving the network line out completely but the nm popup persists. The only way that I've been able to stop the nm popup during the kickstart install is to disable the ethernet hardware in the BIOS! I've read all the RH/SL docs and searched the web far and wide... So, it seems that anaconda starts networkmanager any time that it finds an ethernet device (active or not) whether the kickstart references network or not. I'm not adding any external repos or anything else that would require network. What am I missing? thanks in advance for any guidance, Kent
