That, to this ancient hand, is a new man page, and one I never thought to look at. I did ask that question about putting it in the interfaces file, on the ubuntu list, and there was no response. So much for technical lists. The best they could do was to tell me to restore everything and it should then Just Work(TM). The real magic twanger is to ignore the original postcard sized screen and instead of clicking on the install now button there, take the "try it out" path. Then as it fully boots from the optical media (go make coffee, it takes a while) there you can properly adjust things so networking works, then you can click on the install icon on that screen and everything does Just Work(TM). But it took a side comment by somebody else on the list to get me to skip the first screen. It can't be made to work without hand carving the whole setup and then doing a chattr +i on the resolv.conf file else your carvings in the sand will be destroyed at the next bootup. I went through that cycle 3 times before the lights came on, I must be getting slower in my dotage. But, at 78, with a long since expired warranty, I can accept a certain amount of that. Its been a great ride so far. Made more pleasant over the last decade+ by the helpful folks on this list as I'm a firm believer in giving credit where credit is due.
