In my experience it does: pump fails to correctly configure /etc/resolv.conf which kinda makes installing off a network kinda hard. > Is this a bug in pump ? If it fails to work (for an @Home setup like > mine) then why is pump allowed into potato or debian at all ? Bug in pump: unknown to me. the code is in the executable, but it doesn't seem to work. My experience: I've tried a couple times to install pump on a SPARC classic, and used DHCP to configure the interface. When it came time to install the base system (there's no CD and it's a blank HD) I had to use the NFS server's IP number rather than the hostname: DNS lookups were failing. After the system was installed and running, trying to fix /etc/resolv.conf showed me the file didn't exist. pump in potato: I dunno.
