NFS install, have been able to reproduce consistantly on Alpha with one network card. It will set the proper hostname in /etc/hosts but /etc/sysconfig/network will still say localhost.localdomain. User error - use the right IP for the DNS. I beg to differ. The installer asks for [IIRC] - hostname - IP - default gateway - nameservers If all the other entries are filled correctly, why should an incorrect nameserver entry cause them to be configured wrong? I think that hostname should automatically be entered into /etc/sysconfig/network. Also, IP address, hostname -pair should be written to /etc/hosts from the settings above. And lastly, /etc/resolv.conf would have the nameservers as defined. Now entering a wrong nameserver entry kills (almost) the whole network configuration, so to speak. What if the user just wanted to install from a site where there actually is no connectivity yet (It's a CD-ROM install after all..)? |
