I have a sample pc-sysinstall.cfg that could be used, if you like.  It's a little more complex than normal, but it does show how multiple network interfaces are configured:

  1. We should include an example, even if it is relatively basic, to give context to the variables and how they would be used.
  2. It highly bothers me that '=' is shown to be part of the variable names here. An improved explanation along with the example mentioned above, would allow the table to be fixed (removal of the '=' from variable names.)

I have a sample pc-sysinstall.cfg that could be used, if you like. It's a little more complex than normal, but it does show how multiple network interfaces are configured:
