Currently I do not see any possibility for this without major architectures changes. However, it may be likely that the DHCP/non-DHCP thing comes again into discussion. I may even predict some reviews with comments like "Debian mimics Microsoft Windows and decides that DHCP is the standard"...:-) Hence, I suggest we consider adding a special boot parameter for this : "static" would feed netcfg/get_method with "Static addressing (manual)". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
