Subject: Inappropriate LAN configuration
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.7 (i386/compact)
Though my only network connection is via modem, the installation routines
force me into an LAN/ethernet-oriented configuration. I do have an
ethernet card in my system, and I suspect that is partly behind the
problem. But the setup shouldn't force an ethernet config on a system
which lacks an ethernet connection (there is no cable in the card) Should
it?.
At any rate, when I finish driver selection, I never get asked "Is your
system connected to a network?" Instead a dialog comes up (it says it's
"automatic" and refers to eth0) asking about DHCP, and it continues on from
there with a bunch of LAN type queries.
Note: I reported this earlier under 57111, but that apparently concerned a
different problem. That bug includes some back and forth about exactly
what my situation is; I hope the above description summarizes that. Also,
this report reflects the 2.2.7 boot floppies. I also 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.
For completeness, here was my driver selection at earlier stages, in the
order I loaded them:
nfs -- failed with warnings about unresolved symbols in (from?) sunrpc.o
ntfs, vfat, awe_wave--all fine
joy_creative -- failed. Could be my hardware, or a conflict with awe_wave
ppp--fails. Many unresolved symbols /lib/module/2.2.14/net/ppp.o. This is
critical for me. (not the subject of this bug report)

We believe that the bug you reported has been fixed in the potato
boot-floppies, version 2.2.9 or higher.
Thank you for your bug report.
We encourage you to test the potato boot-floppies on your system. If
your problem persists, please either respond to debian-boot and CC
