Hey guys,
I've been using linux as a home desktop for about 6 months now (mdk9 then 9.1 then redhat 9 for about the last 4 months) so I've got a *little* bit of knowledge - but still not a heap - probably just enough to be dangerous with. I thought I'd install Suse9 onto a spare partition and give it a try for a while - just because I can. (Isn't choice a wonderful thing).
Last night, I tried to install SUSE 9.0 using the Network installation (via http) but I kept getting an 'system procedure interrupted' message (or some variation/order of those words).
I change to the messages screen and saw that the installation program was getting the right IP address from the DNS server but then didn't seem to be getting out through my ADSL connection. However, the fact that it was getting a DNS response showed that the eth0 interface was working. Odd.
I then tried the 'rescue' part to see if I could bring up the interface myself but I couldn't quite figure out the right 'ifconfig' command line to get that going properly so I couldn't test ping things or anything.
I've done some google-ing this morning to try and find some answers but haven't found anything yet. Currently having a look through some mailing list archives to see if I can find an answer. I was just wondering if anyone had seen something like this and whether or not it was just something silly I was/wasn't doing.
Any ideas?
