[Bug 441672] New: Installer asks for "IP" of server for NFS installation source
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=441672 Summary: Installer asks for "IP" of server for NFS installation source Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Beta4 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bphilips@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- If you are using an NFS server as the source for packages for an install the installer asks you to: "Please enter the IP of the server". I always took this to mean that the box cannot accept hostnames- but it can. Can that string be changed to read something to the affect of: "Please enter the IP or hostname of the server"?

Well, yes. OTOH you get to that dialog only in manual mode and that's not even documented.
This is the mode you get when you PXEBOOT. And that is documented here: http://en.opensuse.org/SuSE_install_with_PXE_boot Reopening. -- 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.

And the fact that you get an error popup along the way if you follow that description doesn't strike you as odd?
"Insert CD" is hardly an error dialog.
Please add a proper 'install' option at the boot prompt and that's it.
OK, I will update the PXE documentation to reflect this. BUT! This happens also if you select Installation with our "NET" isos: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1-Beta4/iso/openSUSE-11.1-Beta4... -- 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.
