Bug#502261: debian-installer doesn't ask for DNS
- x86
- debian-eeepc_20080907.img from http://eeepc.debian.net/images/debian-eeepc_20080907.img from page http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/Install
- Static IP from provider. Behind a router. To get browsers and things to work the computer needs to have the DNS being 68.105.28.12. In D-I at the 'detect network' stage it writes /etc/resolve.conf and has 68.105.228.13 and 68.105.228.14 as the DNS servers, which doesn't work.
- To configure the network in the install? I hit alt-f2, cd /etc, nano resolve.conf, change the first DNS to the correct url, ctrl-x, y, enter, alt-f1, and it was working then.
- /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
/etc/resolve.conf
search gosnelltree.com
nameserver 68.105.28.12
nameserver 68.105.228.14

You really don't provide *any* useful information for us to help you or
fix a problem, if there is any. I actually do not think there is a
problem as static network configuration works fine for me and does show a
dialog asking for DNS servers to use.
If you want us to look into this, you should at least provide the
following information:
- what architecture you are installing
- *exactly* what D-I image and installation method you are using (please
give the full URL of the image you downloaded)
- some information about your home network and internet connection
- the exact steps you followed to configure the network
- the contents of /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf after
that network configuration
If you do not provide this info, our only option is to just close your
report.
Cheers,
FJP
