------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-11-06 20:35 ------- I tried a network NFS install today. The early providing of the network data may have skewed the working of the network configuration from Summary. Anyway, the network showed up as configured "lan" (no "not configured" tag), but when I checked Configure and went through autodetect, the only device box checked was the modem. When I went through the configuration, the static info from the network-based install had been propagated to the dialog, except that the hostname field (which the dialog specifies must be filled in with the fully-qualified hostname) had only the simple hostname. This is probably because the network boot prompts have you enter the host and domain names separately. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: ASSIGNED creation_date: description: Today's cooker seems to be deciding that it needs the network before it's been configured from the Network tab of the Summary page. It assumes DHCP, and installs dhcpcd-client, and then appears to hang. The hang is because it is timing out looking for a DHCP server, and there is none. The hang eventually times out, but when I actually get the Summary dialog and go to configure the network, it tells me that the network was already configured and I can leave it as is. It doesn't seem to realize that it never managed to connect with DHCP, and it shouldn't be trying it anyway.
