But CD1 is usable for net installation too. Simply start with "manual=1" at the boot prompt, load your modules by hand, and you have all the installation source choices.
Or boot just into the normal installation and cancel it. Then you will fall back to a point where you can proceed just like with "manual=1", but all the needed drivers without the network card module are already present. Load your network module, and voila.
There's usually no need for workarounds or hacks like this. On Friday I installed 10.0 from a network source multiple times by simply booting from CD 1, pressing the F key for 'other options', selecting 'ftp', entering my ftp server's IP and the directory, and it was done. All modules were autodetected
At least formerly you had no choice to enter your IP number this way. It needed a DHCP server. Is this fixed now? Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)
