Description:


I see the same problem with this iso than all the other releases i have been trying.

So the problem is with the ftp-install method and especially the network configuration part. I have a static ip which has to be set manually (dns, qw, netmask etc)

Everytime I try to put those information and after insertin them in the installer it tries to start the eth0 device but failes (no error in sight)
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  Use ifconfig. I'm not going to write a gui interface for ifconfig.

Why can't you use ifconfig and skip the autodetection in the installer?

The x86_64 ftp 2008.04-rc iso worked fine for me with a static IP and i was able to install via ftp after a long time, on another PC though. There have been problems in the past though with my other two machines and even after talking in IRC with tpowa i could solve them. Despite the fact that i had a perfectly healthy network connection after the installation with the core isos running the kernel versions on the isos, i couldnt achieve installing via ftp for some reason
Maybe it would be wise to state your NIC model.
