Sure, you can make it do anything. If you're looking at building a full ks.cfg from the ground up, you can add more questions and output to a new ks.cfg. If you have an existing template you want to use and only want to chug in a few values look at using "sed" If you only want a response for this section, you can just use a "here document" and just echo the entire ks.cfg out including the user input information for network section. Like I said, you can do pretty much anything, you probably want to look at simple bash examples while you create this script.

Start to create something and post what you have and will continue to help you out.

NAME
avahi-autoipd.action - avahi-autoipd action script SYNOPSIS
/etc/avahi/avahi-autoipd.action DESCRIPTION
avahi-autoipd.action is the action script that is called whenever an IP address has been acquired by avahi-autoipd or when it detected an IP address conflict. The script should add or remove the specified address from the specified network interface. PARAMETERS
argv[1] An event string: one of BIND, CONFLICT, UNBIND or STOP. If BIND is passed an IP address has been sucessfully acquired and the script shall add it to the network interface. If CONFLICT is passed avahi-autopid detected a IP address on the local network, the action script should remove the configured IP address. If UNBIND is passed the IP address should be removed from the interface, too, because a routable address has been configured to the interface by some other program. If STOP is passed the avahi-autoipd is being shutdown and the action script should remove the IP address. In short: on BIND the address should be added to the interface, on CONFLICT, UNBIND or STOP it should be removed. argv[2] The network interface name. argv[3] An IP address from the IPv4LL range.
