Package: netcfg Severity: normal Reported initally by Andree Leidenfrost:
Dear all The DHCP retry screen in d-i implies that there is a DHCP server available in the user's network and offers to retry. It fails to mention what to do if there is no DHCP server available in the first place which should not be uncommon. And indeed, d-i takes perfect care of situations where there is no DHCP to be found by asking the user to specify the network configuration manually. Unfortunately, the DHCP retry screen completely fails to mention this fact which may potentially confuse users. Andree suggested adding something like this to this template. "If you do not choose this option, you will be prompted to configure the network manually." -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.6-1-686 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (ignored: LC_ALL set to fr_FR.UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
