This is a new bug introduced by RC3. The dialog says something like "enter gateway if you want one" but if you leave it blank it tells you "format is 1.2.3.4" and will not go any further in the install until you give it one.
My connection to the outside world is via SpeedTouch ADSL USB modem so I _never_ give gateway info on installs. -- Mandrake Linux release 9.0 (rc3) for i586.
