Re: suggestion for the installer

Hi Harald,

If im not mistaken when the installer is running when you configure
dhcp on the interface
t will warn you that it is not receiving any leases. I can see your
concerns about the static ip configuration
at a guess I think the issue is there is no config on the interfaces
so they havent yet been instructed to start or put a config on them...


as a workaround when you start up the installer you can select shell
or hit <ctrl> c to exit the installer back to a shell and you can
can do
ifconfig interface name
or
ifconfig interface_name up
and when you are done checking you can run the
install to restart the install process
I hope this helps a little
