Greetings, Holger Thank you for your answer. I didn't now about the manual network configuration in the expert mode. I'm was a new Debian user, so I decided to use more simple way of installing
I still think that ipv4/v6/auto switch would be useful in the simple installation mode. I guess a new user wouldn't like to go through the expert mode just for the single option while being worried to break something Such a switch would be very useful in my country (Belarus) because as far as I know our internet providers rely on ipv4 heavily and set it as default for regular users ср, 1 янв. 2025 г., 21:28 Holger Wansing <hwans...@mailbox.org>: > Hi Alexander, > > sorry for the delay in answering. > > Alexander Rusakevich <mr.alexander.rusakev...@gmail.com> wrote (Sat, 31 > Aug 2024 01:39:05 +0300): > > My wifi router has misconfigured ipv6 settings which I cannot fix. > Debian tries > > to use ipv6 during installation, tries to send packages, but those won't > be > > sent. > > While trying to send packages via ipv6, my installer hangs.
