Caveats abound: the frustration only affects the livecds we ship. it does not affect the anaconda based installer on the traditional dvd image. If there was an expectation that people who use the livecd as install targets for machines with static ips, I don't remember that coming up at any point in the F7 or F8 testing cycle. There was more than enough time for someone,anyone to make the case and develop a livecd spin that used the legacy stack by default instead of NM for use as a live media target for static ip situations. I don't remember anyone bringing this up in the context of livecd spin target usage leading up to F8. I think there very well maybe a valid usage case here for a legacy network stack using live image as a useful install target for static ip networks. But its almost too late for a discussion about it to matter much since NM should have static ip support by F9 and be the default stack for all installable images.. whether live or not. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
