Package: debian-installer
Version: Debian Installer Sarge Test Candidate 1
I installed Debian sarge using the boot cd with the debian sarge installer
tc1. I skipped the network configuration part of the installer because my
network card is being used behind an adsl modem for connecting via PPPOE.
So no need to give an IP address to the card. The installation went
perfectly and my system is running fine as far as I'm not connected to
Internet. As soon as I get a connection via PPPOE, the application
(particulary KDE one) are very slow to start. It appeared that a lot of
dns query are done unsucessfully. I was able to fix the problem by adding
the line
my_hostname 127.0.0.1
in the /etc/hosts file and by adding the two following lines
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
in the /etc/network/interfaces file (it was completely empty before). I wonder if the installer should
not be responsible of doing that. Even if no network configuration was
done, a loopback interface should be created, shouldn't it?
