Release note added. If any revisions are required, please set the "requires_release_notes" flag to "?" and edit the "Release Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: * the text interface did not allow manual input of DNS addresses. This meant that no DNS could be specified if a static IP was used or if DHCP failed to retrieve DNS information. This updated version of system-config-network allows DNS addresses to be set in text mode.
