Does this work with DHCP? If you set your interfaces to configure themselves with dhcp, then will a simple /sbin/ifup $nic have them get an IP address also? (I am going back and forth with the idea of giving all my servers static IP's or letting them all dhcp. If I let them all dhcp, then I can basically use 1 xml for all my machines. If I want static addresses, then I have to build an xml per machine.)

Yes, it works with DHCP or static, basically just uses what AutoYaST configured the nic for at install time. I realize now I probably just could have done a /etc/init.d/network start || stop to achieve the same thing, I can't remember why I made it more complex. It's been a while and just works for us. And at this point DNS is up and configured so that works as well.

So then, I should be able to write a post-install script that /etc/init.d/network start Mount nfs share Copy file over Do chkconfig voodoo to get it to run when I want in the boot. /etc/init.d/network stop Is it that simple.
