If I understand the bug description correctly, this is a network-based installation (i.e. using the NET ISO that does not have any repos on the installation medium, so it relies completely on repos available via network), so it needs to initialize the network for the installation. Yet you want neither Network Manager (the default for openSUSE distros, Leap as well as TW) nor Wicked (the default for SLE products). Of course that means that you'll have to do the network setup manually at some point after the installation. This sounds to me like a total fringe case. If you want a non-networked machine to start with, the logical thing to start with would be a full DVD ISO, i.e. one that already contains all the repos on the installation medium. That way you can ensure that there will not be any artifacts of the network configuration that was used during installation on the target system. In pretty much all cases users expect the installation network configuration to be carried over to the target system, so they can continue to work with a working network seamlessly. That's what we have been striving to do for countless years to avoid disruptions caused by the network suddenly disappearing after the installation, which is very much a showstopper for the great majority of users. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
