You just can't expect full and correct documentation for Rawhide. It's for
developers and you're supposed to check the source for 'documentation'
But yes, it would be very nice if anaconda clearly differentiated
ks-syntax error from other types of crashes. A 'ks-lint' which builds from
directly from anaconda-sources (so that it'll always stay current) would
help a lot.

Nothings stopping you from fixing anaconda and sending patches to Red

I think since 6.1 anaconda with kickstart installations always uses DHCP
to get an IP address for the installation. The network-line tells anaconda
how to configure the network for normal operation (static vs dhcp)
