Bug#161999: boot-floppies: 3.0r0 install can end with no /etc/host{s,name}
Package: boot-floppies
Version: Debian 3.0r0
Severity: serious
When installing woody from CD on a laptop yesterday, the installation
ended without an /etc/hosts nor an /etc/hostname. Hm, maybe there are
others, but I did not noticed yet.
Not sure it is the source of the problem, but I had asked for a DHCP
setup, while not connected to a network (something that I thought
would be reasonable to ask, but for some reason it appeared that was
not allowed), and after DHCP failure I had to skip the "network
config" step.
