Comment 9 Joop Boonen 2007-10-24 21:36:37 UTC
I cant find an option to change the network settings when i use NFS. I also cant set an fixed ip address when i don't use dhcp. Not in the "grub screen" nor later in the settings.

How exactly are you starting your installation? What options do you pass to the kernel in the boot screen?
Comment 11 Martin Mrazik 2007-10-25 10:11:31 UTC
Do you press F4 in the installation screen and select NFS?

What do you mean by a NFS proxy?

I don't pass any options to the kernel i only do a setting via F4.

Yes via F4 is select NFS.

I mean a proxy server in the network. Not a proxy for nfs.

Proxy settings like below (is an example):
http_proxy=http://192.168.99.99:3128
ftp_proxy=http://122.168.99.99:3128
https_proxy=http://192.168.99.99:3128
no_proxy=localhost, 127.0.0.1

A proxy setting is needed for updates and extra reposities during the intallation if your not allowed to direct access the internet, only via a proxy server.

You can do all of that using linuxrc options.

For more information please see:
http://en.opensuse.org/Network_Install
and
http://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc


In your case you should look for options like "proxy", "hostip", "netmask", "gateway" and "nameserver".

Therefore I'm lowering the severity to enhancement.

Added proxy & network config dialogs.
