Mon Sep 18 09:16:14 EDT 2006 At a computer show over the weekend, I purchased a set of vanilla components, and put together an AMD Sempron box with which to test FC6T3. I was a location without Internet access, but I had media checked my copy of the DVD before leaving. The hardware checks and initial bootup were flawless. When I got to the Ethernet related dialog, I opted for a static address, not being sure what would happen otherwise. I disabled the IPv6 connectivity, but anaconda demanded an IPv6 address anyway. When I could not guess correctly the form or substance of a valid address, the installation was aborted. I tried again, allowing automatic address selection, but making sure the card was marked inactive. I created the simplest disc allocation scheme manually, and accepted the default selection of packages. Installation completed without incident and the firstboot dialog was fine. [Asbestos underwear on] I normally use a KDE desktop. So I remounted the installation DVD, and found the Add/Remove Program option. The result was death from isolation. The program wanted Internet connectivity, while I had a DVD which should have been good to go. Shouldn't the installation media be self contained? Normally, I have access to the Internet during an installation. But does this mean that a standalone installation is impossible without selection an 'Everything' option on the first go? Is Fedora Core [Testing or otherwise] unusable on a standalone machine?
