Package: installation-reports http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/i386/20040517/sarge-i386-netinst.iso
I started an installation using this image, but ended up going back to beta 4, so I don't have a complete installation report. There was no DHCP client available (reported separately against the businesscard ISO as well), so I did a static installation. After confirming that the IP address settings were correct, d-i prompted for a host name, defaulting to the fully qualified name that DNS provided for the IP address. If I just hit return at that point, I am sent back to confirming my network settings. Hitting return just pops back and forth between these two screens. To break out of this, I removed everything after the first . in the host name and was sent to select the domain name which had a correct default value. Debian-installer should probably take just the first component of the hostname that it gets back from DNS when creating a default answer to the hostname question, or else it should either ignore the domain name or give a meaningful error message. -- Jay Berkenbilt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.ql.org/q/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
