Description Melrik Birch 2006-06-02 21:09:11 UTC

the networkless grp install of 2006.0 locks up if you do not have eth0 plugged in when configured to use dhcp. I took the 'networkless install' a bit to literally and unplugged my eth0 and was waiting for a while as the isntall hung before I plugged it back in and restarted the install where it continued just fine.

it hung at this point.
