Peter,
Did you solve your problem? I'm going to be doing an http install of
CentOS 7 tomorrow on a subnet with no DHCP server, and I'll see where
configuring the static IP is in the installer (I'm pretty sure I know
where it is; there is a configure button on the Network & Hostname page
of the installer, and configuring a static IP is done there).

Hi,
I just tried to install a new Scientific 7 virtual host on my server using
virtlib remote and installing using html remote installation method.
Everything went fine, the necessary files were loaded from the mirror server,
kernel booted, dracut started, but aborted because it didn’t receive a dhcp
offer (according to log). There is no dhcp available in that environment
(Hetzner root server in Germany). With previous installation I remember the
installation started nevertheless and I could configure a static IP
configuration as part of the installation process. Unfortunately, I didn’t
found any opportunity to define a static IP prior to the installation process
aborting.
How can I install ScientificLinux?
Or is there another RedHat alike which lets me configure a static IP (CentOS
doesn’t either, by the way).
Thanks
Peter
