And here are logs from my DHCP server showing that installer sent an explivit release as soon as I proceeded past the domain name question: 2026-08-09T05:09:34.973578+00:00 bftools kea-dhcp6[1613848]: INFO DHCP6_PACKET_RECEIVED duid=[00:01:00:01:32:0a:ba:e6:ac:1f:6b:76:f8:4e], [no hwaddr info], tid=0x57aac5: RELEASE (type 8) received from fdbf:ce15:9030:a8ae:5218:884b:a17e:ebb5 to 2a0a:1100:1::4 on interface enX0 (fdbf:ce15:9030:a8ae:5218:884b:a17e:ebb5 is address of my DHCP relay as the DHCPv6 server is not on the same network segment.) Is it expected for debian-installer to do this? It never asks for a lease again. Thanks, Andy
