This shoudl be better in newer releases of Fedora Core |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312 Description of problem: The network setup in anaconda previously (RedHat 9) filled in reasonable defaults for netmask and gateway once the ip-address was entered. In the Fedora core version, one has to enter all of this information by hand. However, the code to fill in the defaults is still there: when doing an nfs-based install, the text-mode part of anaconda asks for the networking information, and this part is unchanged. I think it might be very useful to have consistent behaviour between the various parts of anaconda, and filling in a default netmask not only saves a lot of typing, but it is also a great clue to users who don't know all the details about network configuration. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Network setup has no reasonable defaults for non-dhcp addresses How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install fedora core (test3) from cd 2.switch off dhcp to give manual ip information Additional info:
