See, maybe I missed some lessons in the topic, but I don't see why it is not good to use a DHCP-preconfigured NTP server. Why is it better to set it up _during the installation_ each and every time by hand? What is more, why should I wait one and a half minutes (!) while YaST recognises that it is not possible to synchronise to that NTP server and why it still uses the useless server? And YaST does this despite the fact that it gets among an IP address, a gateway and two name servers also an NTP server from the DHCP. I appreciate that there is netconfig and it works great, but what I am talking about is the _installation_. -- 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.

It does mean that the install routine makes exactly that what you want me to avoid... I don't think that NTP server should be a static configuration value. Just as the IP address, it also can be taken from the DHCP record if there is any, and if not either a default or the LOCAL can be used. I admit it may be a longer development if openSUSE uses static NTP parameters recently. However, what I wish to see as a minimal solution that the install routine would not wait one and a half minute frozen to reach an unreachable NTP server during the installation. This is a bug and it should be fixed. (röviden, magyarul: Pont az a baj az installal, hogy beállít egy NTP-szervert, ami _nem elérhető_ és _másfél percig_ vár, mire erre rájön: pont azt csinálja, amiről le akarsz beszélni... Létezik a DHCP-ben NTP rekord, lehetne dinamikusan használni. Ha az openSUSÉ-ban ez most statikus, akkor ez nagyobb fejlesztést jelent, de a másfél perces várakozást lefagyottnak látszó állapotban csak hibának lehet értékelni, és jó lenne kijavítani...)
