Description Leonard den Ottolander 2004-08-10 17:12:27 UTC

Anaconda and boot.iso as of 2004-08-09, assuming this is
anaconda-10.0.2-0.20040806112009

On my small home network I do only use an external DNS. Thus when
doing an NFS/FTP/HTTP installation I do not enter a primary nameserver
in the "Configure TCP/IP". Still anaconda is trying to look up the
host name for the machine. Since there is no DNS server providing the
machine with a name this fails. You could thus save the time spent
searching by skipping this step and setting a default host name.

Guess this needs to be fixed in loader2/net.c. Maybe loaderData->noDns
is not set if the DNS string is empty?

Sure, committed to CVS

Works fine for me. Thanks for this quick fix.
