Package: debian-installer
Version: squeeze beta1 kFreeBSD
Severity: important

When using the expert installer, it seems that /etc/resolv.conf gets updated
with the search line, but there is no "nameserver" line. In my case it should
pull this information either from DHCP (but it still asked me for it), but 
even
after entering the IP address of the nameserver, it was still missing.

This lead to me being unable to select any networked mirror.

Adding "nameserver 1.2.3.4" to /etc/resolv.conf under /target solved this 
problem.

thanks

Hi,

thank you for submitting bug reports concering debian-installer, much 
appreciated.

I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by 
several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if
- they (finally) indicated success and/or
- I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in 
Wheezy and/or
- they only contained very little information and/or
- they contained user errors and/or
- they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or
- they are very old and/or
- they are wishlist but rather special + exotic and not have been acted on for 
years. (See http://blog.liw.fi/posts/wishlist-bugs/ why it's often useful to 
close wishlist bugs.)

If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll 
do if requested) or just file a new one - and that's often better, as the bug 
log will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft.


cheers,
        Holger
