Hi, I resolved my problem by downloading a full dvd iso and performing a local install (i.e. I stored the iso locally on the host computer) That way I get the install programs running and could configure a static IP configuration.
Later I found out, that the VM could not contact the internet world through the bridge (br0) on the host for some reason, I couldn’t resolve yet. Never had this type of problem before, and the other VM’s running on that host have no issue with internet access.
