and when you're installing on a VPS provider without DHCP, and where Ctrl+Alt+[number] cannot be delivered to the console, then it's even worse: it becomes a showstopper. https://issues.guix.gnu.org/60160 i suggested this solution in the above issue: when the network check fails, then it should get back to a toplevel menu. this menu should have an option to start a shell, which when exited goes back to the menu (i.e. the user can set up the network upstream). another option in the menu should be to continue at the check of network upstream. -- • attila lendvai • PGP: 963F 5D5F 45C7 DFCD 0A39 -- “It is love that sets the limits of our freedom.” — Alistair Begg Corollary: beware the intelligent psychopath!
