When I install Fedora 19 with a kickstart file and via network, the generated ifcfg-eth0 file is genorated by the kickstart:

# Generated by parse-kickstart

However if I use the same kickstart file and install via a USB stick, the ifcfg file is generated by initrd.

# Generated by dracut initrd

The line in the kickstart file to set the network settings is as follows:

network --device=eth0 --bootproto=dhcp --hostname=SOMEHOSTNAME

Is there away to keep network device settings set in the kickstart file when not installing via network?
