Bug#248791: installation-reports Beta4 Netinstaller, can't boot off hard drive, can't install packages from ethernet.



Martin,

Verizon ADSL. The router handles the PPPoE foolishness. All I need is Ethernet and TCP/IP. Static IP, Router is gateway, DNS from provider and it all works. The images I've tried support TCP/IP over ethernet for the first part, but not on reboot. It expects PPP, so far only the full install has the ethernet packages needed to get ethernet working after the first reboot. The fact that I have to use slackware to reboot beta4 is of course a completely different problem.

Which do you recommend?  Net install, business card install, full install?


I'd use the net inst image.


Neither PPP nor PPPOE, I have ADSL via ethernet to my router.  Static IP.


But how is ADSL configured?  Do you need PPP over Ethernet for it, or
is it done via another way?  Do you simply set your router address as
the gateway and then everything works?
