Hello, This bug was supposedly fixed in netcfg 0.64, and indeed I tested a snapshot of the installer that handled this perfectly. However, Test Candidate One lacks this feature. If it's using an old netcfg, then please ignore this.
Here's what happened. DHCP failed, so I was prompted to enter a Static IP. There was no "Skip Configuration for Now" option, so I had to "Go Back". The installer went to try DHCP again, then a few screens flashed by in an instant, and I was prompted to enter a hostname, thus in effect skipping network configuration, but crudely. I proceeded with the install, and upon rebooting, dhcp-client tried to get a lease, because /etc/network/interfaces was configured to bring it up on boot. This wasn't what I wanted :) There was also an empty resolv.conf in /etc. It might have been created by dhcp-client, I suppose, but if not it probably shouldn't be created by the installer.
