Bug#267838: netcfg: DHCP installer -> STATIC target
Package: netcfg
Version: 1.00
Severity: wishlist
I configure my servers in my DHCP server with static IP's so that I can
boot them into a disaster recovery environment. I also use this static DHCP
entry to do network configuration during install. I then have to
manually copy the information into a static stanza in
/etc/network/interfaces. It would be excelent if netcfg could use DHCP
to get IP, gateway, netmask, DNS servers... etc but then optionaly write them as static entries in /etc/network/interfaces /etc/resolv.conf etc...
Presumably a debconf question in the d-i of low priority defaulting to
the current behaviour would do the trick plus some logic to get the
answers from the DHCP response for the static config.
This would be a great feature!
Thanks
Alex Owen
