I have a scripted installation file which works fine and installs everything including all post network config etc however as soon as I enable interactive mode so that users can change the ip address etc to build different hosts the install falls over with a few anaconda errors ending in the following line:
AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'order'
The config file is as follows: (for some reason this forum is interpretting hashes in my script file is the number 1)
