The cdrom boot image should configure networking if the 'display' parameter is specified.
I tried to do an install using the network.img (dated 26 Feb 2002), and saw that there was a display option. This worked as I expected: I booted from a network.img disk, hit F1, and typed vgalo display=192.168.0.254:0 to have the X part of the install appear on a remote display. The installer asked me to set up networking (expected because I am installing from an FTP site), and then when the X-based installer was loaded, everything appeared on the correct remote display. No problem, and I'm impressed at this point. Later on a different machine, I have the beta 3 iso burned to CDROM, and try to do the same trick. Only this time, I wasn't prompted to set up networking, and when the installer tried to open my remote display, it failed, and quit the installer. It would be good if the cdrom boot image prompted the user for network configuration info if the display option has been given on the command line. === Steven Mackenzie Active Navigation Ltd http://activenavigation.com/ +44 (0) 23 8074 2420 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
