Hi, is there a way to use server names instead of the ip addresses for the installation source? Snipset from linuxrc.conf: #Nameserver: 192.168.198.100 #Gateway: 192.168.198.100 #Netmask: 255.255.255.0 #Broadcast: 192.168.198.255 Install: smb://DEMOSRV.demo.dom/share/foo AutoYaST: file:///autoyast.xml This results in the message 'dns: what is demosrv.demo.dom'. Even pinging the server doesn't work. If I exchange the server name with its ip address everything works as expected. The client gets its network parameters via dhcp. /etc/resolv.conf etc. seems to be properly filled. Next I added some network parameters to linuxrc.conf. Doesn't change the behaviour. Even worse in the summary printed on the console the broadcast address is now noted as 0.0.0.255. Any hints?
