Hi
Does anyone know if its possible to set a search domain within anaconda to use

I'd rather not have to set a FQDN for a certain service as its location
specific that is dependent on SSL and therefore the certs.
I cant see anything in the docs listed but i thought i'd ask
Actually, my kickstarts run with the DNS info provided by my DNCP
server. The only thing that I've had to do is copy the
created /etc/resolv.conf file into the newly-built tree so that it's
available to the system for running post scripts.
thanks for the reply - these are statically
a resolver to anaconda but not a
search domain - its a non issue now, but an annoyance.

The issue seems to be that the package tar was somehow removed from your
