Bug#51543: install gotcha (nameserver)
Package: boot-floppies
Version: ?
I don't know if this have *any* relevans for the new boot-flopies with
all the changes but I just as well tell it.
When installing slink, when configuring base, You are asked if You want
to run Your own nameserver, if You say yes and leter try to install from
ftp/http You can't find the name server (obviusly).
It might be silly for an experienst user to expect bind to be in base
and it is defenitly easy for an experinsed user to fix it. But for a
newbe it is a real showstoper!
It's not easy to fix but just informing the user that if they intend to
instal ower network they have to provide a extern nameserver during
install might do.
Or even better, ask for one when it is needed.
