The thing about doing this at install cmd line is - that changing that later/post-install may be little tricky. When you pass the network config on install cmd line - the network config lands in ifcfg interface files. If you use yast to modify it later - yast will leave that in place and add new values to the appropriate wicked/networManager config files. As you can imagine, debugging strange side-effects of this overlay can be "fun". So, remember to revisit ifcfg config later or use yast and stay with yast. That being said - there are times when the install cmd line is very handy and has to be used. Hope it helps, Tomas On Sun, 2019-12-01 at 11:06 -0500, Felix Miata wrote:

what's the best way to switch to a static IP address

I configure network on the installation media's kernel cmdline according to https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Linuxrc and always get the fixed IP configuration I want. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.
