Feature changed by: Lukas Ocilka (locilka) Feature #305146, revision 6 Title: Use old system network configuration when updating instead of demanding a new one openSUSE-11.2: Evaluation Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Pacho Ramos (pacho2) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently, when I try to update from opensuse 10.3 to 11.0 with DVD and I want to add network repositories, I have to configure again my network for opensuse installer even when it is already configured on my opensuse-10.3 I think that would be much better try to use network configuration from old installation and only ask user if a problem occurs Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: System update from media: Start installation / Update, select network-based repositories to be used, you will be asked to configure the network. Discussion: #1: Lukas Ocilka (locilka) (2008-08-04 15:05:05) See also bug 398346 - Try to use proxy settings from installed system in case in case of upgrade. Proxy settings should be read as well... + #2: Lukas Ocilka (locilka) (2009-01-27 16:54:24) + This is a bit problematic feature when it comes to implementation. The + current network settings are stored in format that only rcnetwork + script understand, but there is not rcnetwork script (and no sysconfig + and no...) in inst-sys. Additionally, there's no NetworkManager in inst- + sys and no UI for managing the NM during installation. + Moreover, Linuxrc can load the network itself (no need /or/ not wanted + to reinit it according to the current settings in the system?) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305146
