Are you perhaps confusing the Beta 4 with the release candidate?
No, I'm pretty sure that, at least, RC2 has been tested by the openSUSE community. Some of e-mails here on the mailing-list have RC2 in their subject.
There is no such thing in the torrents. Maybe in the factory tree, once the RC is installed.
So... I was right. There is no "network" or "rcnetwork" init script in the install system.
Ah, I see, I had overlooked that this was in inst-sys, sorry for that. Misunderstanding: I thought you were mentioning adding extra-sources after your network is configured and tested.
Anyway, if you boot from CD or DVD you should not get any network-related option in "New Add-On Configuration" dialog (or how is it called) such as SLP, HTTP, FTP etc.
It certainly proposes an URL (and local directories etc). If there is no support for URLs, ie, external sources, then it should be removed from the option list. Notice that I'm testing this procedure on purpose, because I was told here that it should work. I have created a new 10.1 partition with the idea in mind of testing this thing. But it seems it was not true that the procedure was ready. Very dissapointing, I have been waiting months to test this. :-(
But if you still want to have network configured during the first-stage installation (int-sys), use a Linuxrc parameter
"DHCP=1"
at the boot-screen menu ... or you can set a static address using
"HostIP=192.168.1.100 Netmask=255.255.255.0 Gateway=192.168.1.1 Nameserver=192.168.1.2 DHCP=0 UseDHCP=0 Domain=your.domain"
The eth0 interface is down at that stage, not even an IP will work - unless those entries above makes it initialize the network first.
Of course :) with your own settings...
Of course - but they are almost correct, as a matter of fact :-)
You can consult these (or other) Linuxrc parameters with this document: http://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc
Nice. But most of the parameters there are undocumented, like the one labeled "network".
Have a nice day Lukas
Thanks, same thing :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
