I did an FTP install to a Vax, and that obviously required me
to enter networking details. After the install sysinst asked
me whether I wanted to save the network configuration, I
answered in the affrimative and on rebooting found an
ifconfig.le0, resolv.conf and myname file. However, when I did
an install to my PC from CD-ROM, I used the utility menu in
sysinst to edit the networking details. I wasn't prompted to
save these settings, and on rebooting the newly installed
system found no networking files. I'm wondering if this is the
intended behaviour, or whether I should be prompted to save
the networking configuration in the second case also.
