Hi Holger
My situation is the following:
- I do use static IPv4's in the LAN
- no DHCP server
- the router does IPv6 auto-config
- I do provide a list of IPv4 addresses of DNS servers
So, technically the network card is configured, for IPv6 networking, but
with IPv4 DNS servers, making name lookup a guaranteed failure.
After back, back, backing and entering the IPv4 config for the machine,
installation continues to completion.
Peter.
