If I install and specify "use dhcp" for the IP address, when logging in with Gnome I get:
Could not look up internet address for <hostname>.<domainname>.
This will prevent GNOME from operating correctly.
It may be possible to correct the problem by adding
<hostname>.<domainname> to the file /etc/hosts
[Log in Anyway] [Try Again]
KDE logs in ok. Obviously the /etc/hosts is not the right solution.
