ctl-b,2 and start doing pings/ip route commands, everything works. So is a
very short interval that its trying to pull the ostree and cannot. I’m
wondering if there is a way to specify a number of retries, or perhaps multiple
ostrees for the kickstart to try for reduncancy? Those seems like reasonable
things to have, but I’m not finding anything in the docs about it. Any ideas?

Hey Britt,
I imagine you can either specify some network options [1] to get around
this or
there is a bug in anaconda that is causing it to not wait long enough for
link
to be ready.
You might be able to temporarily work around this by adding the following
to your
kickstart:
```
%pre
sleep 30
%end
```
All this does is specify a %pre script that waits 30 seconds.

Thanks Dusty – Yeah I added a ping/sleep loop in the %pre and that worked
around it. I was hoping for something more elegant, but it works. =)
Thx,
