The normal mode (install from CD/DVD) would have picked up your NIC card
fine. The FTP/HTTP/NFS installs are all considered manual mode
installation, and the manual mode install leaves it all up to you to
figure out.
Wonderful. So there are two sets of code in there, one for "normal"
mode, and the other for "manual" mode. That's rather inelegant.
They also have a different definition of "normal" than I do: I do all
my installations across the network. It's faster, especially if you
take into account time spent burning CD-ROMs.
Thanks for the explanation.
I have to disagree. I've installed SUSE, NLD, and SLES all various
times (because my employment sometimes requires me to) and each time I
install, I choose HTTP or FTP, and my NIC is automatically set up. I'm
not sure how you had your settings, but setting it up by pressing F-3
and choosing a medium other than CD or DVD does *not* mean "go to manual
mode".
Just FYI.
