I have run into a situation where this is more troublesome. In my case, I'm trying to deploy Ubuntu server on a diskless system using iSCSI. The storage network is isolated and only accessible on one network interface and the other interface is used for traditional network traffic and internet connectivity.
This means I have to install without internet connectivity which prevents me, for example, from specifying alternative packages to what is on the CD. And right now, that means I can't install a version of open-iscsi from proposed, and so my install will fail. I realize this is an edge case, but as ubuntu server makes its way into more complex environments, the ability to configure multiple interfaces during install could save quite a few headaches. Particularly in catch-22 situations like mine. As a side note, ifconfig doesn't seem present when I drop to a shell, at least not at the install stage where I need it (before choosing the install target) so I can't figure out how to bring up the second interface manually. This is the server CD, not the live CD. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/448036 Title: UEC Installer Only Configures One Network Interface To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/eucalyptus/+bug/448036/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
