From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.79C-SGI [en] (X11; I; IRIX64 6.5-ALPHA-1288095920 IP28) Description of problem: This was observed installing RedHat 7.2 on an ia64 box using the standard RedHat 7.2 install disks. After I finished partitioning the disks using disk druid during a clean/fresh install session, I am taken to the network configuration screen. By default, DHCP is selected as the means to get network information about the system. If you unselect the "Use bootp/DHCP" box, but do NOT fill any network information in, you are not allowed to go back. If you highlight the BACK button with the cursoe and hit enter, you are told that your network configuration is invalid. If you check the "Use bootp/DHCP" box again, then click back - you are taken back properly. It seems to me that the user should be allowed to go back in either case. I checked with the graphical installer, and the user is indeed allowed to go back in either case. So there is a diference here between the graphical installer and teh text installer. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Begin a fresh install using the text installer (RedHat 7.2 on a ia64 system) 2. Tell the installer you wish to use disk druid for partitioning (this probably isn't necessary - but it is the way I followed) 3. When you finish partitoning, you get to the network configuration screen 4. Unselect "Use bootp/DHCP" and try selecting "BACK" and hitting enter - the error is produced. Actual Results: An error message is produced stating your network configuration is invalid. Expected Results: I expected to be taken back to the previous step (disk druid in my case). Additional info:
