Hello, The installer now works very well. Since I use pppoeconf, after the unsuccessful DHCP detect, I selected "no config at this time" and proceeded with the rest of the install.
Upon booting, /etc/network/interfaces did indeed contain the loopback interface, so that's fixed. I also noticed that there was no /etc/resolv.conf. In an earlier beta, you used "touch" to create this file, even if it was empty, but since then ppp has been fixed so that the mere existence of this file is not needed. I guess that's why you don't create it anymore, which is good. The only other thing I noticed, that has to do with netcfg, is that /etc/hosts no longer contains the hostname (as in "127.0.0.1 johnyscomputer localhost", but contains merely "127.0.0.1 localhost". Is this a regression? I remember bugs being filed about this earlier, and the problem being fixed with beta3 or 4. On my Sarge machine, /etc/hosts contains the hostname, and a bunch of lines about IPv6 - these are missing from the fresh install as well. Out of curiosity, what would happen if no network interfaces were detected? (Say, your network card is too new, or you plan to install it later). Would netcfg still configure /etc/network/interfaces, /etc/hosts, etc. or would it simply do nothing?
