Bug#57111: Forced network install
[I had just prepared this when I saw 57111. I think it's the same problem.]
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.6 (i386/compact)
Severity: Important
I have a system with an ethernet card which is not connected to anything.
The installation routines (at the network setup step) force me into an
ethernet/LAN oriented configuration. I never get asked "Is your system
connected to a network?" (The dialog which comes up, asking about DHCP,
says it's "automatic").
I mentioned this in passing in an earlier bug report (57701), but implied
the problem was a result of my having selected an ethernet driver. I made
no such selection this time, and get the same problem.
