As I had done a Network Installation, it was especially bizarre to have eth0 static on a 10.0.0.0 private network selected. eth1 had default route & DHCP to ISP, used to perform the install. Cosmetic issue, just selected alternative in menu; but it's details like this that cause openSUSE reviewers to mention quirks in our installation, so well worth doing better before GM. Expected: Updating Release Notes to be done quietly without dialogue, using the same proxy & configuration mechanisms as will be used for Online Update. On Success, Notify User of Release Note Update IF they have changed. Failure to download releasenotes, offer choice of going back to network config (user fixing) if Internet seems "bust" (perhaps check DNS lookup & poll a few well known websites for reachability to diagnose a bit) or skip the "updates" part of installation. In event there's a technical reason to select the Interface to be used, at least be more intelligent and try one with default route, or if Proxy is defined try matching to local network. Only geeks care which NIC is used and whether it's eth0 or eth1! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
