Hi,

is there a way to use server names instead of the ip addresses for the
installation source?

Snipset from linuxrc.conf:

#Nameserver:     192.168.198.100
#Gateway:        192.168.198.100
#Netmask:        255.255.255.0
#Broadcast:      192.168.198.255
Install:        smb://DEMOSRV.demo.dom/share/foo
AutoYaST:       file:///autoyast.xml

This results in the message 'dns: what is demosrv.demo.dom'. Even
pinging the server doesn't work. If I exchange the server name with its
ip address everything works as expected. The client gets its network
parameters via dhcp. /etc/resolv.conf etc. seems to be properly filled.

Next I added some network parameters to linuxrc.conf. Doesn't change the
behaviour. Even worse in the summary printed on the console the
broadcast address is now noted as 0.0.0.255. 

Any hints?

Michael
