You cannot use variables in the command section (I wish you
could), only
in %pre and %post. SO, you write the line you need for your
network (or
disk, timezone, whatever) and you use %include which IS
available to you
in the command section.
Does that clarify it?

Sorry, I see what you want to explain, but I don't get the
syntax.....
because I don't understand when it is written and when
read.
Don't get how the files work together....
