Bug#251066: Sarge Beta 4 DHCP issues
Package: debian-installer
I downloaded the business card ISO of the beta 4 installer. Aside from
the mirror issues I posted before (Bug# 251052), I got things to
install. I chose the Broadband package during tasksel on
post-installation setup. With this package installed on two different
computers I experienced the same problem. I also posted this issue to
linuxquestions. Below is the post
(http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&postid=955268#post955268).
Resolv.conf Overwritten
So I used the business card version of the beta 4 installer for debian.
The install is happy, and I choose dhclient during the tasksel part of
things. I have two systems with this same issue. One is set for static
IP the other dynamic. Each gives me resolving host name issues. I add
the appropriate lines into resolv.conf but it is overwritten on each
restart.
I have seen this issue on other lists and tried tweaking dhclient-script
and dhclient.conf as suggested. No luck. I even tried the solution of
stripping write access to the file from everyone. On restart the
permissions have been changed so that root has write access again and
the file has been overwritten again.
Anyone less confused than me on this one?

--edit--
If it helps, I just did a reinstall and this time did not select the
Broadband package in tasksel. Everything works wonderfully now. Guess it
is something in there. So now everything works, but knowing what was the
issue is still nice.
