At least formerly you had no choice to enter your IP number this way. It needed a DHCP server. Is this fixed now?
At least since SLES8 you have had the possibility to gove a boot option to linuxrc "ip=x.x.x.x netmask=y.y.y.y gw=z.z.z.z" if you don't have dhcp. In 9.3 and 10.0 you get a question if you want to use dhcp, and if you say no you get a popup where you can enter your details (although since I use dhcp I haven't tried to see if it works or not)
So I can hope that it is fixed now. But I bet it needs some more betas before I will leave my "traditional" way...
Slight mistake, it's hostip and gateway, not ip and gw. But this has been around for some time (don't know exactly how long, but at least since 8.1) so it should be fairly well tested by now
"My" way is smoother, without fiddling with these cryptic params and running totally into the shit each time for every single typo or wrong keyword... Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)
