Not exatcly. By default, the question about DHCP or not is not asked. Try using "linux DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium" and you'll be prompted about DHCP. Anyway, when DHCP fails, the installer falls back to static network setting as you noticed, so no bug here. Can you switch to console 2 when you get the mirror failure message and run "ifconfig eth0" from there and maybe try to ping another host on the network (I don't remember whether we have ping at this step....you can also try "wget http://somehost/someurl" for somehost and someurl being valid HTTP host and URL on your local network) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
