Re: [SLE] 7.3 Installer Disks
A thing I never understood with the ftp install was that it asks you for a dns server but then it won't allow you to use a full qualified domain to contact the ftp server but needs the ip address. one figures if the installer asks if you have a working dns server it could query the ip for the ftp server from the domain you would supply. category: suse mysteries mk

I know enough about my network to punch in a valid network configuration, but it sucks, just the same. While I'm asking, why can't it use name resolution?
An acceptable alternative to both problems, for me, would be the ability to pre-load machine and installation source via a configuration file on the disks. Did I miss this functionality somewhere?
